rule
 
of
 
both
 
the
 
Church
 
and
 
the
 
Holy
 
Roman
 
emperor. Some
 
saw
 
an
 
opportunity
 
to
 
seize
 
Church
 
property
 
in
 
their
 
territories. Others
 
embraced
 
the
 
new
 
church

of
 
nationalistic
 
loyalty

denounced
 
serfdom. the
 
violence,
 
favoring
 
respect
 
for
 
political
 
authority

nobles
 
suppressed
 
the
 
uprising. Thousands

Catholic
 
Church.
