There was so much corruption and abuse in the church that people needed a change. Beginning in the late Middle Ages, the church had become increasingly caught up in worldly affairs. Popes competed with Italian princes for political power. They fought long wars to protect the Papal States against invasions by secular rulers. They intrigued against powerful monarch who tried to seize control of the church within their lands. Like other Renaissance rulers, popes maintained a lavish lifestyle. Popes were also patrons of the arts. They hired painters and sculptors to beautify churches. To finance such projects, the church increased fees for services such as marriages and baptisms. Some clergy also promoted the sale of indulgences. in the middle ages, the church had granted indulgences only for good deeds, such as going on a crusade. By the late 1400's, however, indulgences could also be obtained in exchange for money gifts to the church.
