I hate to tell you this... But you did not tag anyone...
If there were 2 (and at one point 3) different 'Popes' each claiming the other was false,excommunicating them and their supporters,how could an individual living under the jurisdiction of any of them be sure their 'Pope' was the real one - if he wasn't,they would automatically go to Hell when they died. This weakening of the power and influence of the Catholic Church and the position of Pope (the Schism lasted nearly 40 years,1378 to 1417) laid the basis for conditions necessary for the Protestant Reformation a century later.

It considerably weakened the power and influence of the Catholic Church,particularly over ordinary people.

Feudalism was ideologically based on three classes, nobility (these who rule), church (these who pray), and peasantry (these who works). This was simplistic view of the society provided some stability how the feudal society, economy, culture, and philosophy worked. Church was considered a pillar of the feudal society; in the Age of Faith, the spiritual well being of the masses was one of the foremost concern of the society. When this pillar of the medieval society started to fall apart, this also affected the relationship people had between them and the nobility. The schism started to undermine the prestige the church had build among society for previous 1000 years. People associated the present ills, economic collapse, and plague with weakened spiritual role of the church, and demanded changes. Entire European society, from the poor peasants to the kings, seen the division within the highest circle of the church as unacceptable, and demanded for resolution. The criticism directed against the representative church weakened the grip it had in the medieval society. Also church preoccupied with the Schism was not successful in suppressing heresies, reform ideas, cultural revival, and education. Once this control weakened, the late medieval society changed how people behaved, acquired education, social and cultural value changed. This was a revolution that occurred in a span of two three generations, and European society was not the same. The weakened church paved way to the Reformation and Renaissance, and with it the end of the medieval era.
