The Babylonian Captivity was a period from 1309 to 1377 when popes resided in Avignon, leading to a significant decline in the prestige and authority of the papacy. Political influences from the French monarchy during this time caused widespread perceptions of weakened papal power. This ultimately laid the groundwork for future reform movements within the Church.
