At the time Christianity was dominated by the Catholic Church (headed by the Pope in Rome). Since its formation in Roman times the Catholic Church had become corrupt, self serving and in many ways just plain evil (look at the Borgias if you want an example). Many religious Christian people saw that the the Catholic Church no longer taught the Christian message as set out in The Bible. They therefore set out to reform the Catholic Church and bring it back to what it should have been. Sadly history shows they failed but new branches of Christian Churches (the Protestant Church) which to some extent deliver the sort of Christian teaching that the Bible sets out.
