The protestant revolt did not affect the authority of the Catholic Church. It has the same authority that it has always had since it was founded by Jesus Christ in 33 AD.

Luther's reaction to the Peasants' War was generally unsupportive, fearing the chaos it could bring. While this did not directly lead to the Counter-Reformation, it did contribute to the fractured state of Christianity in Europe, prompting further religious unrest and debates. The Counter-Reformation was more a response to the Protestant Reformation, focusing on reforms within the Catholic Church to address criticisms raised by reformers like Luther.
The 95 theses were written during a period in European history known as the reformation. They furthered the ideology of the reformation by questioning the authority of the Catholic church.

Henry VIII did a great job of preventing the Protestant Reformation from having any great affect on England - until he needed a divorce. When the Catholic Church refused to grant Henry VIII a divorce, he decided to make his own version of Christianity, where he made the rules. Henry VIII started the Anglican / Church of England, where Henry VIII was the head of the church (much like the Pope). Henry VIII gave himself permission to divorce and ordered all his subjects to become Protestant.
