The Protestant Reformation began because Martin Luther thought and believed that the Roman Catholic church was abusing its powers over its followers. It truly began when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door. These Theses attacked the doctrines, practices, and authority of the church.

Because of the Protestant Reformation, the Counter-Reformation started.
