After the Christian papacy was moved to Avignon in 1309, popes would be increasingly more concerned with worldly matters and pleasures than fulfilling their duties as leaders of the Church. Over the course of 70 years, people began to resent the clergy as a whole for these behaviors while the Black Death and the Hundred Years' War ravaged the rest of Western Europe.
