The Catholic Church did not view them as reformers so much as revolutionaries since they sought to enact their desires without the sanction of Church authorities and ended up not reforming but rejecting those things they found problems with. The Church considers such actions heretical and thus saw them as heretics. Those that were personal responsible for these breaks are considered heresiarchs, or leaders of heresy. There were some clerics and people who strove for reform but decided to do so while staying with the Church, believing Her inviolable. Some of these reformers became saints.
