There have been several splits from the Catholic Church. The two major splits that you could be referring to is the East-West Schism which occurred in 1054 (though it could be argued the divide started much earlier) and the Protestant Reformation which occurred in 1517. There can't be one person credited for leading the East-West Schism since there were many factors that caused the divide. You could say that the dispute between Pope Leo IX and Michael Cerularius is ultimately what caused the formal split of the two churches resulting in both excommunicating each other. The resulting church was the Eastern Orthodox Church. The person who started the Protestant Reformation was Martin Luther. It is incorrect to say that Martin Luther "lead" the split from the Catholic Church because he went to the grave claiming to still be Catholic. There are several resulting churches from the Reformation, the most notable being the Lutheran Church. But it must be noted that Protestants will trace their beginnings back to the Reformation.

Martin Luther.Catholic AnswerI hate to disagree but nobody broke away from the Catholic Church AND thought that Church teachings should be more accessible to the people. People who broke away from the Church did so because they disagree with and couldn't live according to Church teachings, NOT because they thought they should be more accessible. Martin Luther is a prime example of someone who broke away from the Catholic Church precisely BECAUSE he couldn't live with Church teachings and failed to try.
