Answer:

There was a battle in the Church for control ecclesiastical matchless quality is the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church that the pope, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ and as minister of the whole Christian Church, has full, preeminent, and general control over the entire church, a force which he can generally practice unhindered.
