What property did the church own in Western Europe?

The main type of material property of the church in western Europe was land holdings, concentrated in the hands of the Pope himself or bishops, as well as huge land areas allotted for the needs of monasteries and large churches.
Thanks to the conduct of agricultural activities in these territories, as well as the lease of large areas of land to large feudal lords, the church received huge incomes.
In addition, due to the fact that almost a third of all land holdings were concentrated in and hands, a large number of peasants worked not for the landowner, but for the church.
