The Catholic Church contrasted with the new government that developed after the fall of the Roman Empire in that the church was much more organized.

One of the strengths of the Catholic Church as an institution has always been its organization. Considering its size and presence in many European territories in those years that basically communications and roads were limited, the Catholic Church could establish a well-organized system of clergy and local churches under the leadership of the papacy in Rome. Even to this day, this kind of organization worldwide is one of the successful pillars of the church.
