Zwingli was very unhappy about the sale of indulgences. He wrote many statements and letters against it. Finally, Zwingli just left the Roman Catholic Church. During his lifetime, Zwingli was a prolific writer against the teachings of the Catholic Church.

How and why did the reconstruction of Saint Peter's help spark the Protestant Reformation?

Reconstruction of St Peter's in Rome was underway in the early 1500s and Pope Leo X needed money to finalise work, and planned to declare indulgences for all who contributed. Martin Luther, professor of biblical studies and Augustine monk, initially had no plan to abolish indulgences, but to reform their use. He saw their increasing sale as representing much that was wrong with the Church. In 1517, he nailed his 95 theses to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg, calling churchmen to debate their sale. In response, Prierias, Master of the Papal Palace, declared any challenge to the sale of indulgences heretical. Around the same time, Zwingli, who had served as a chaplain to papal troops, claimed that papal authority was not backed up by the scriptures, and condemned the sale of indulgences. So, the cost of the reconstruction of St Peter's Cathedral, along with the unwillingness of Leo to find savings elsewhere, led to more and more reliance on the sale of indulgences, which in turn were key points of difference with Luther and Zwingli.

What were the major similarities among the reform movements of Luther Zwingli and Calvin?

Both Luther and Zwingli got ideas from Erasmus on the need to reform the Church. They both were against the sale of indulgences. They both questioned traditional teachings like fasting, the worship of saints, pilgrimages, clerical celibacy, and the practice of certain sacraments. But Luther and Zwingli had different views on the Eucharist. Luther believed the Eucharist was the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Zwingli believed that the Eucharist was symbolically the body and blood. Their disagreement separated the Protestant movement theologically and politically, and different defense leagues formed.
