What were the major similarities among the reform movements of Luther Zwingli and Calvin?
Both Luther and Zwingli got ideas from Erasmus on the need to reform the Church. They both were against the sale of indulgences. They both questioned traditional teachings like fasting, the worship of saints, pilgrimages, clerical celibacy, and the practice of certain sacraments. But Luther and Zwingli had different views on the Eucharist. Luther believed the Eucharist was the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Zwingli believed that the Eucharist was symbolically the body and blood. Their disagreement separated the Protestant movement theologically and politically, and different defense leagues formed.

Why did Martin Luther eliminate the sacrament of Penance?
He didn't. He held to the Catholic teaching in this matter. But he did change it. Instead of the Catholic teaching that it consisted of three parts (Contrition, Confession/Absolution, and Satisfaction), he stated that it truly has only 2 parts (Contrition and Faith). Penance (Confession) is one of the three sacraments that Martin Luther acknowledged, along with Baptism and Holy Communion, in his new Church.
