In short, it was the begining of a new mentality and idea of an individuals relationship to God, The (Catholic) church of the day was weak in authority and greedy for land, money and power, both in the papacy and local clergy. Lay people were disillisioned with this and began to seek a more personal Christianity. Saints like Catherine of Siena are great examples of this. This mentality of personal relationship with God was a threat to the church because the had always had a monopoly on the mediation between man and God on earth. Reformers like Wycliffe and Hus protested most of the inventions of the church (like many of the sacraments) that perpetualized this monopoly. In the long run its easy to see how this transformation ushered in the Renaissance and its Humanism and Rationalism. People were no longer reiforcing the status quo connected to the church and its universities, but searching for truth and God in and through themselves.
