Its wilful ignorance to pretend that Europe did not develop it’s cruel feudal reality under the papacy and is wide reaching effect over there. And yes, including England. The entire rotten system was Europe wide and the papacy loved it as long as it got to pull strings with monarchs.

Europe’s feudal system was not remarkable in the least in the scope of human history — monarchism has always existed, both pre and post papal power. It was (and is) the human norm, and it’s existence in Europe arose because that, not because of the Catholic Church.
