Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church's mission as always been to be Christ to the world, and bring the people to Christ. She has never sought to "control" anything. Individuals, some quite sinful, have, over the centuries, sought control in one way or another, and there have been efforts by the church, for instance the Roman Inquisition, where the Church has sought to control heresy for the good of the people who were adversely affected. There have been some Popes who were a scandal to the Church, and for many centuries, the Vatican, by default, was the only government in Rome. Still and all, the church, for the main, has always been a servant, the "Bride of Christ."

What political change occured as a result of german princes converting to protestantism?

Prior to the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Church had a very integral part in the governance structure within most of the "independent" states of Christendom. When Martin Luther began to argue for separation from the Church, the various German states which chose to either side with Protestants or Catholics to assert autonomy or unity with the Church. The political autonomy that these princes could have was very appealing. As a result, supporting Protestantism was an effective way of increasing the power of the local princes without appearing impious or self-aggrandizing.
