Answer
Traditional morality was indeed the focus of the reforming decrees passed at the Council of Reims in 1049. These decrees aimed to combat clerical concubinage, simony (purchase of church positions or privileges) and clerical marriage, issues viewed as moral deficiencies weakening the authority and credibility of the Church. The council sought to enforce clerical celibacy and strengthen religious discipline to uphold the Church's moral standing.
