There have been several splits from the Catholic Church. The two major splits that you could be referring to is the East-West Schism which occurred in 1054 (though it could be argued the divide started much earlier) and the Protestant Reformation which occurred in 1517. There can't be one person credited for leading the East-West Schism since there were many factors that caused the divide. You could say that the dispute between Pope Leo IX and Michael Cerularius is ultimately what caused the formal split of the two churches resulting in both excommunicating each other. The resulting church was the Eastern Orthodox Church. The person who started the Protestant Reformation was Martin Luther. It is incorrect to say that Martin Luther "lead" the split from the Catholic Church because he went to the grave claiming to still be Catholic. There are several resulting churches from the Reformation, the most notable being the Lutheran Church. But it must be noted that Protestants will trace their beginnings back to the Reformation.

The Catholic Church had three main "advantages", if you will, when it came to the "counter-reformation" (better known as the Catholic reform): 1) It was the only Church founded by and guaranteed by God, in the person of Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who appointed St. Peter and his successors as his Vicars on earth (see Matthew 16:17-19). 2) It was led by the Holy Spirit. (John 14:26, John 16:13) 3) It produced many outstanding saints who followed God and spent their lives bringing people back to the Church.
Reformation is when you die and then you are born into a different person then you have been reformed!
