Question

impacts of the protestant reformation
before the reformation, power is with the pope & church:
pope & ____________
power and authority
____________ &
secular power and authority

Explanation:

Before the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Church (including the Pope and clergy) held significant power and authority, while secular (non - religious, like kings, nobles) power was relatively less balanced. So the first blank should be "Clergy" (as they were part of the Church structure with power) and the second blank related to secular power would be groups like "Kings (or Nobles)" (representing secular rulers).

Answer:

First blank: Clergy; Second blank: Kings (or Nobles)
