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.

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.

Counter Reformation 16th-century reformation that arose largely in answer to the Protestant Reformation; sometimes called the Catholic Reformation. Although the Roman Catholic reformers shared the Protestants' revulsion at the corrupt conditions in the church, there was present none of the tradition breaking that characterized Protestantism. The Counter Reformation was led by conservative forces whose aim was both to reform the church and to secure the its traditions against the innovations of Protestant theology and against the more liberalizing effects of the Renaissance.

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.

The Puritans followed the teachings of John Calvin, a major figure in the Protestant Reformation. They believed in predestination, the idea that God has predetermined who will be saved. This influenced their strict moral codes and emphasis on personal piety.
