Protestants did not, and still do not, accept that the Pope is the head of the Church or that the water and wine in the mass literally becomes the body of Christ. The Protestant movement challenged the Church's authority which had been dominant in Europe for many centuries before and probably made the Catholic Church became more militant in its teachings as it strove to retrieve those who had left it. For some it may well have been a wake-up call that the Catholic Church could not take its influence in Europe for granted.

Why did the flagellants pose a threat to the Catholic Church?

The way in which your question is worded doesn't make a lot of sense as the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and is guaranteed by God to be here until the end of the world. Thus a group of misguided heretics in the 14th and 15th century did not, of themselves pose a "threat" to the Catholic Church. Although, it could be construed as a threat if others saw them as real Catholics and thought that they should follow them.

Why did galileos scientific discoveries cause problems for the Roman Catholic Church?

Catholic AnswerThere were many problems on both sides. Galileo had no proof but refused to publish his theory as just a theory. In addition, he had a belligerent attitude and went so far as to deliberately alienate the Pope, who was a personal friend of his. The Church believed that the heliocentric theory contradicted Sacred Scripture and would pose innumerable problems if it was published as fact.


Why did the Greek philosophy pose a challenge to Christian scholars?

Answer:Greek philosophy doesn't pose a challenge to Christianity. The opposite is true."...the Greeks seek after wisdom..."
