Answer:
Answer:
C. Papal rivalry.
Explanation:
The French city of Avignon was the seat of the popes of the Catholic Church in the 14th century. Several conclaves took place there and seven pointiffs were chosen in Avignon. But in 1377, pope Gregory XI returned to Rome. The election of his succesor caused a schism within the Catholic Church; some cardinals did not see his succesor Urban VI as legitimate, electing a pope seated in Avignon, Clement VII. Until 1409, there were two popes, one in Rome and one in Avignon.
