What Effect Did The Black Death Have On The Catholic Church?

The Black Death which is also much known as the black plague is considered to be as one of the most devastating pandemic in human history. It is said to have began in the south-western Asia and spread to Europe. It was somewhere in the late 1340's that it managed to get the name Black Death. It almost wiped out half the European population and was also a big boom to the Roman Catholic Church.

The Roman Catholic Church however in return received a very bad name as the holy officials could really cure the people off the disease. People began to loose faith then and began to think of the church as something totally artificial. The church in turn could also not state the actual reason for the plague and so people began to loose their faith all the more in the religion.
