This is a very general question, so I can only assume you mean the largest 'reform' of our era: the Second Vatican Council which took place from 1962 to 1965. Targeted is probably not the best word, either. The Holy Spirit moved Pope John XXIII and the college of Cardinals to have what is called an Ecumenical Council. It was the 21st Ecunmenical Council in the history of the Church. These such events usually call for reforms in the Chuch. In this particular case, it was no different than any other: The Church felt that it needed to adopt new practices in order to keep up with modern times. For example, prior to this parcitucal council, all Masses were said in Latin everywhere. Afterwards, it was determined that it would make it easier for more people to go to Mass if they were said in the language of the nation the church belonged to.
