a balance and a metric ruler.

Because the Catholic church taught that the only way was to fully participate in all the church's rituals, which could only be performed in the church buildings. This gave the Pope enormous political power, as if any King or other ruler displeased the Pope he could excommunicate that ruler which would cause all church buildings in that ruler's lands to be closed until the ruler repented. The people inevitably saw this as their ruler sending them to hell because they had no access to the church's rituals. A popular rebellion frequently rose up which either forced the ruler to repent and do what pleased the Pope or the ruler was deposed and replaced with another that would please the Pope.
