There were numerous reasons that that caused the Reformation: - Ongoing corruption on the part of some clergy and Church leaders (bishops, popes), in spite of several attempts by Church Councils to remedy the problems. - A desire by some to embrace a simpler form of religious worship and a more biblical style of church. - The desire by some Germanic rulers to enrich themselves by taking over the property of Catholic monasteries and convents. - The recent invention of the printing press greatly facilitated the spread of Martin Luther's ideas; although this did not cause the Reformation it may be argued that it is what gave the movement real power.
