Who was responsible for bringing about the Protestant Reformation?

In one sense, Pope Leo X and Prierias, Master of the Papal Palace, were responsible for bringing about the Protestant Reformation, because Leo greatly increased the sale in Indulgences and Prierias declared any challenge to the sale of indulgences heretical. This led inevitably to a confrontation in which neither side could compromise.In another sense, Martin Luther was directly and transparently responsible for bringing about the Protestant Reformation, because he saw corruption and the potential for greater corruption in the Church and sought to regulate the sale of Indulgences. This struck at the heart of the papal lifestyle and eventually resulted in his excommunication. Luther began to criticise other aspects of Catholic doctrine and practice, until only a complete break with Rome was possible.

What were 2 differences and 2 similarities between the reformation and the counter-reformation?

Two differences between the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation are their goals: the Reformation aimed to reform the Catholic Church and break away from it, while the Counter-Reformation sought to reform the Catholic Church from within. Similarly, the Reformation focused on individual interpretation of scripture, while the Counter-Reformation emphasized the authority of the Pope and Church teachings.

Another similarity is that both the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation spurred intellectual and cultural developments in Europe.
