Which of the following was not a cause of popular dissatisfaction with the roman catholic church in the early fifteenth century? select one: a. the fiscal practices of the papacy b. the moral laxity of the clergy c. the failure of the church to meet spiritual needs d. increasing austerity and the use of the vernacular within the church e. the papacy's secular interests

D) increasing austerity and the use of the vernacular within the Church

Explanation:
