During the early middle ages, the bishop of rome assumed control over the church in europe as people looked to him for leadership. with the western roman empire gone, someone had to step in and fill the power void. by 500, the title of pope, or "father-protector," had been adopted, and the church proclaimed the pope to be christ's substitute on earth. true/ false

True.

Explanation:

The fall of the Western Roman Empire created a vacuum that needed to be filled.  The Church had gained much power and infuence after becoming the official imperial religion. Rome became the center of Christianity. After the fall of the last Roman emperor, deposed by Odoacer, a Germanic king in 476 AD, the power of the papacy grew. In 751 AD, Pipin the Short, king of the Franks, invaded Italy , freeing Rome from the sieged laid by the Lombards . Pipin gave the pope control over some regions, they´d become the papal states.
