Why did the Roman Catholic Church lose power during the crusades?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church's only real power comes from Our Blessed Lord. At times throughout history, the leaders of the Church have welded temporary power either through owning land, or for various other reasons. But at all times, one would speak of say, the Pope having temporal power, for instance, when he controlled a great portion of Italy as its temporal ruler. There was also a type of power one could speak of when all of Europe was Catholic including the princes and the people. But even then, the Church only sought to represent Jesus Christ, even if misguided individuals within the Church sought temporal power.
How did the power of the Catholic Church change of the French Revolution?
The Catholic Church lose power during the French Revolution. Instead of the Catholic Church, a new creation was introduced... The Cult of the Supreme Being.

Why did Henry lose faith in the Catholic religion?
Henry did not lose faith in the Catholic Church. He separated himself from the Catholic church and created the church of England because he was in "love"with Anne Boleyn and wanted to marry her but the Pope would not grant him an annulment to his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Therefore Henry secretly married Anne Boleyn and declared himself supreme head of the church of England.

Why does the Catholic church not teach Catholics about being saved?
The Catholic Church does teach Catholics about being saved. To be saved, one must be in a state of grace, free from "mortal" sin (which cuts off one's friendship with God). The Catholic Church teaches that once you have been saved, you can lose your salvation by falling into a state of mortal sin, but also that even mortal sin can be forgiven, and salvation can be restored.
Is the Episcopalian church practice closest to Catholic church?
The Episcopal church, as we know it today, was founded by Henry VIII of England, and later codified and established by his daughter, Elizabeth I. At that time, the sacraments that they retained, the Bishops, Priests, etc. were all based on the Catholic church in England. As a matter of fact, to a large extent that WERE the Catholic priests and Bishops of England who thought it more expedient to convert than lose their heads. The Book of Common Prayer was pretty much a translation of the Mass with the more "Popish" doctrines removed and it was still celebrated in Catholic churches which Henry simply took from the Catholic Church. Other Catholic churches (other than Roman Catholic) have different traditions, like the Eastern rites, etc. The closet in practice to the Roman church would be the Episcopal.
