Best Answer

There were a whole lot of people and events that sparked the Protestant revolt, tracing back, in large part, to the Great Schism, the Schism of the East, also know as the Avignon Captivity, when the Popes were in Avignon for some years. Two influential voices behind the Protestant revolt were John Wycliffe and Jan Hus. But the insane Augustinian Friar who finally sparked the break with Christ's Church was Martin Luther.

What made the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Reformation different?

The difference between them is that the Catholic Reformation was the response to the Protestant Reformation. The Protestanst accused the Catholic Church of indulgences (paying for your sins to essentially be erased), being able to pay for your religious post, and to be able to have more than one post at a time, and many other scandals. Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the Church door in Wittenberg and from then, the Protestant Reformation started and eventually, the Church held the Council of Trent, whose goal was to purify the Church. The Jesuits were formed from the Catholic Reformation. The Jesuits were formed by St. Ignatius of Loyola and they converted people to Catholicism. They were considered one of the bright lights of the Catholic Reformation.


Is anyone who is not a Roman Catholic considered a Protestant?

The term is meant to apply to Christians whose denomination originates from the Protestant Reformation. Usually this means Christians who are not of the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, or Anglican churches. However, the term can be controversial, as not all people agree on who is or is not Protestant. For example, many groups a Catholic person would likely refer to as Protestant would not call themselves that.
