Answer
Simony, the practice of buying or selling ecclesiastical offices, was opposed by Pope Leo IX. He viewed it as a corruption of the church and a violation of the sacred nature of religious vocations. Leo IX actively campaigned against simony and took steps to enforce its prohibition, contributing to the broader Gregorian Reforms aimed at purifying the church and strengthening papal authority.
