In some cases, the word of the Church was greater than the word of a noble. You wouldn't want to anger an institution that had more followers than a small kingdom.
AnswerMost people accepted the authority of the Church throughout medieval times.There were people who were heretics. For example the Cathars, who were numerous enough and organized enough that the Church launched the Albigensian Crusade against them.
There were individuals who opposed the Church for reasons of their own. King Henry II of England comes to mind. He wanted to increase his authority at the expense of the Church, and this made him run afoul of Thomas Becket. Ultimately Henry's knights killed Becket, and this caused Henry to lose both power and prestige, even though it was never alleged that he ordered the assassination.
