Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The papal curia was a group of high-ranking officials who advised the pope and carried out the administrative work of the church. They were the closest group to the pope and held a significant amount of power in the church during the twelfth century. Archbishops and abbots were lower in the hierarchy and did not hold the same level of power as the papal curia.
