Catholic AnswerThe only "issues" that caused people to become discontent with the Church before the protestant revolt were sin. If you read history, you will quickly find out that the vast majority of people had no problems with the Church. The only people that actively complained about the Church at the time of the protestant revolt were people who were actively sinning, and did not want to be held responsible by God for their sins, so they decided to change what God was asking of them!

Did Poland become Protestant or stay Roman Catholic during the Protestant Reformation?

Poland remained primarily Catholic.


England became a Protestant country during the Reformation because?

Henry VIII wanted a divorce, but divorce was banned by the Catholic Church therefore Henry decided to appoint himself head of the Church of England so he could get a divorce. However, Henry did not become a Protestant and he continued to practice Catholicism until his death. The Reformation in England did not cause the country to become Protestant. It allowed dissenting ideas freer access to the population. The teachings of men like John Calvin became more common in England because the Church of England was not so directly linked to Rome.


Why did the protestant reformation come to England?

Henry VIII did a great job of preventing the Protestant Reformation from having any great affect on England - until he needed a divorce. When the Catholic Church refused to grant Henry VIII a divorce, he decided to make his own version of Christianity, where he made the rules. Henry VIII started the Anglican / Church of England, where Henry VIII was the head of the church (much like the Pope). Henry VIII gave himself permission to divorce and ordered all his subjects to become Protestant.


What do you think was the most permanent impact of the Reformation?

A:One obvious outcome of the Protestant Reformation was the breakup of the Catholic Church, with the creation of Protestant Churches. Another, more indirect, effect was the reformation of the Catholic Church itself. Both of these outocmes are reversible. For example, it is conceivable that the Catholic and Protestant Churches could, one day in the future, reconcile and recombine. Similarly, the Catholic Church could one day become as corrupt as it was in the Renaissance period - and perhaps it has already gone down that path, given revelations about the financial affairs of the Church and those about widespread child abuse.One effect that is more likely to remain permanent is the loss by the Catholic Church of absolute power over the lives of people. The Reformation allowed democracy to take root, and even gave secular authorities power to investigate criminal activity by clergy, should this occur within the relevant jurisdictions. It also allowed people to make their own decisions on how and whether to worship God.
