What is the main idea and 3 details that support the main idea of this passage.

If its blurry read here...
"During the Middle Ages, the people of Europe began to unite due to common ground,most nobalty religion. Christianity held the countries and continent together, and since religion was a powerful bond, the Catholic Church, and especially the pope had great power. He was viewed as God's representative on Earth. This position made whoever held the office responsible not only for the spiritual well-being of the people, but also for issuing bulls, writings on moral and spiritual teachings or church policy, for the rest of Europe to live by. When Europe fell apart after the fall of Rome in ancient Europe, the Pope was looked to for reassurance and leadership. The pope's power also lent them to political stances, and thus significant wealth. Many popes built palaces to live in, wore the finest clothes, and ate and drank choice foods and wine.Later in Feudal European history, the pope often disagreed with kings of various countries, due to moral or spiritual issues. If the king refused to do what the pope saw as right, the pope could excommunicate him, meaning the king was removed from the church. Many Christians feared this verdict because it implied that the ruler wouldn't go to heaven at the end of his life."
