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". John Calvin was a generation later, and was a French scholar in contrast to Martin Luther, who was a German peasant. I am putting links for both of them below:
