Answer

The Gregorian Reform, spearheaded by Pope Victor II in the mid-11th century, aimed to purify the Catholic Church and strengthen its spiritual and administrative authority. It sought to address issues such as simony (the buying and selling of church positions) and clerical corruption, while simultaneously reclaiming the power of appointing bishops and abbots from secular rulers.
