There are many reforms of the catholic church in the middle ages. Just a few are canon law (the laws made by the pope), the practice of simony (paying the pope or a bishop to become a priest) and the marriage of the clergy. Most of these reforms were used so the Church and the pope could gain power. Pope Gregory VII outlawed marriage of the clergy. Some say he did this so the offspring of married priests would not inherit the land that the Church owned. I'm sure there are many more reforms of the middle ages you can look into.
