Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the effects of the Crusades on the Catholic Church:

  • The Crusades were initiated and supported by the Church. They led to increased donations, land grants, and a larger following, enhancing the Church’s wealth and influence.
  • “Lost power/wealth” is incorrect (the Church gained power/wealth). “Called for end to violence” is inconsistent with the Church’s role in launching Crusades (military campaigns).

Answer:

C. grew in wealth and influence.
