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!

First off, it's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church.

Which is a completely different thing. That is commonly mislabeled as the protestant reformation, Catholics refer to it as the protestant revolt.
