To some extent I think "yes", but then the printing press sure added to it. Without the press there wouldn't have been the books, thus, there wouldn't have been the people thinking about new ideas/ thoughts. When you have a society where the information comes from a few sources or just one source, then, you don't have the freedom of ideas that flows. The Crusades sure added pressure to the whole time frame since the people coming back brought new ideas and thinking with them into Europe. With or without the printing press I think it would have had to happen anyway Europe had to "come out" of the Dark Ages at some point and evolve. I just can't imagine a world without books or the written word.

Was the Protestant reform healthy for the catholic church?

If by 'healthy' you mean 'good', than no, the protestant reformation was not good for the church. In fact, the church despised any protestants and the entire protestant reformation altogether. However, the Reformation did cause the Church to look deeply at itself and make some serious reforms to clean up corruption that had crept into all levels of the Church. That was good as Satan is always working from within and without to destroy the Church. Every now and then the Church needs to do some housekeeping to keep the Evil One at bay.
