Yes, John Calvin was a Frenchman who was tonsured at an early age, but left the Church and started the Reformed and Presbyterian tradition - that is the one that believes that God predestines some to heaven and some to hell. Martin Luther was an Augustinian Friar who left the Church over salvation believing that as long as he had faith alone (in direct contradiction to The Bible) he was saved, even if he committed adultery and murder on a daily basis. Martin Luther started the Lutheran Churches.

Why did John Calvin challenge the Catholic Church?
Martin Luther opposed the Church because he felt he wasn't going to get saved by them. he thought the Catholic way of things was not going to get him into heaven. He said that you needed faith in the risen lord to get there and that good deeds alone will get you there. So Luther started the protestant reformation.Catholic AnswerMartin Luther protested the Catholic Church because the Church insisted on proclaiming the teaching of Our Blessed Lord and Savior, and Martin Luther was unable to abide with either the moral teaching of the Church or with his vows - which he had taken voluntarily after years of careful reflection. When the Church wouldn't change its teaching to accommodate Luther's lifestyle, he rewrote and edited the Bible, and started his own "church".
