Answer:

The catholic church provided new doctrines and rules so that they would not lose followers. They said that if anyone did not follow these new rules they would executed. Their downfall was that new forms of christianity arose during the renaissance. Many followers of the catholic church went to the other forms like Lutherian because it gave them more freedom in their religious faith.

Answer:

They had the Pope and divine power over the people. Their downfall might as well be their hypocrisy and also the fact England no longer listened to the Catholic Church.
