It did - the Catholic Church responded to the Reformation with
the Counter-Reformation.
Jan Hus and John Wycliffe, who were early supporters of reform,
were burned as heretics (Wycliffe posthumously). The reformation
involved many wars, such as the Hussite Wars and the German
Peasants' Revolt. Martin Luther, one of the leaders of the
Reformation, was excommunicated by the Pope.
The Reformation was not an instant, easy movement - it met with
quite a lot of resistance.
