How did the Renaissance help cause the Reformation?

Answer 1

Just guessing but... I think the Renaissance got people thinking in new different ways which opened the door to the reformation. Where people questioned the Churches teaching and therefore reformed it.

this is another suggestion other than this persons.

The Renaissance in Italy was a great era of time for Italy's literature and art. Most people were poor and life was mostly violent. Renaissance humanists looked for ways to shape a society that made sense to them. The people started to question a central force in their lives, which as the church.

Answer 2

It gave an Impulse to Religious Reform.--Thehumanistic movement, as we have already noticed, when it crossed the Alps assumed among the northern peoples a new character. It was the Hebrew past rather than the Graeco-Roman past which stirred the interest of the scholars of the North. The Bible, which the printing presses were now multiplying in the original Hebrew and Greek as well as in the vernacular languages, became the subject Of enthusiastic study and of fresh interpretation. Consequently what was in the South a restoration of classical literature and art became in the more serious and less sensuous North a revival of primitive Christianity, of the ethical and religious elements of the Hebrew-Christian past. The humanist became the reformer. Reuchlin, Erasmus, and the other humanists of the North were the true precursors of the great religious revolution of the sixteenth century.
