The catholic church held sway over western europe for a long ass time. It was never really totally hegemonic in its control of the population and was torn apart multiple times since it didn't really have any significant military power of its own and was typically a proxy for the miscellaneous empires that rose and fell in europe at warp speed.
In a lot of ways it was like the mainstream media is today. It was a representative of various corporate powers against localism and the older shamanic traditions of european people.
