The primary, and often neglected and under-mentioned, reason for the protestant revolt is sin.
Many village priests married and had families.Such marriages were against Church rulings. Bishops sold postions in the Church a practice called simony. Using the practice of lay investiture kings appointed church bishops.Church reformers believed the Church alone should appoint bishops
The three abuses that were the center of grievances in the early 16th century were simony, nepotism, and the sale of indulgences. The underlying issue was that the Church did not serve the spiritual needs of most people, because of the language barrier.
There was little need to reform the church and in fact, only minor changes were intended but were hijacked by liberalists,

Catholic AnswerThe primary factor that made the Catholic reform inevitable was the protestant revolt, two of the factors that contributed to that were: the Papacy and the Council of Trent. In addition you can count many individual saints as instrumental in bring about reform including St. Ignatius and the Society of Jesus, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Charles Borroneo, St. Francis de Sales; also there were civil rulers such as Philip II of Spain and Mary Tudor, his wife, in England..
from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
A period of Catholic revival from 1522 to about 1648, better know as the Catholic Reform. It was an effort to stem the tide of Protestantism by genuine reform within the Catholic Church. There were political movements pressured by civil rules, and ecclesiastical movements carried out by churchmen in an attempt to restore genuine Catholic life by establishing new religious orders such as the Society of Jesus and restoring old orders to their original observances, such as the Carmelites under St. Teresa of Avila (1515-98). The main factors responsible for the Counter Reformation, however, were the papacy and the council of Trent (1545-63). Among church leaders St. Charles Borromeo (1538-84), Archbishop of Milan, enforced the reforms decreed by the council, and St. Francis de Sales of Geneva (1567-1622) spent his best energies in restoring genuine Catholic doctrine and piety. Among civil rulers sponsoring the needed reform were Philip II of Spain (1527-98) and Mary Tudor (1516-58), his wife, in England. Unfortunately this aspect of the reformation led to embitterment between England and Scotland, England and Spain, Poland and Sweden, and to almost two centuries of religious wars. As a result of the Counter Reformation, the Catholic Church became stronger in her institutional structure, more dedicated to the work of evangelization, and more influential in world affairs.
