How did the black death affect the catholic church?

Answer:

The church was changed drastically as many people began to lose faith the main reason was that the plague was supposedly sent by God ( it wasn't)and people began to question the religion. Also people thought that non-sinners would not be affected and outrage broke out as people realised that more than half of the monks, bishops and so on died as they lived , and slept, so close together. But also the church became even more rich as believers brought potions that were supposed to cure this horrible disease.
