The Protestant Reformation was deemed to be necessary to correct abuses and corruption that were endemic within the Roman Catholic Church, which used its far-reaching spiritual, financial, and political power to control and manipulate people afraid for their eternal souls. The Reformation helped refocus organized religion on its fundamental tenets--and was responsible in part as well for the later Counterreformation, which was a reformation within the Catholic Church that sought to rid itself of some of these abuses.
Better said would be a large number of disenchanted Catholics believed a change was necessary. And, the Anglican Church was believed to be too much like Catholicism.
