Answer:

The Renaissance.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Renaissance, the Catholic Church in Europe felt threatened. It was quite literally a rebirth- people began to change and question their political, cultural, artistic, and economic ways. Of course, in a way, this threatened the Church. They began to lose power over people because people were evolving their minds to think differently.
