What was the core reason why Protestants wanted to reform the Catholic Church?

AnswerThere were several issues over which the Protestants and Catholics were in dispute, but the factor common to almost all issues was that the Protestants felt that the Catholic Church had become corrupt. This is highlighted by the sale of indulgences by the Catholic Church, the very practice that led Martin Luther, professor of biblical studies and Augustine monk, initially to seek reform within the Church.


Where did prodstant come from?

Protestantism originated in the early 16th century as a movement against certain practices and beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. It began with figures like Martin Luther, who famously nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to a church door in 1517, criticizing the Church's sale of indulgences and other issues. The movement led to the formation of various Christian denominations that sought to reform church practices and emphasize individual faith and scripture. Protestantism quickly spread across Europe, significantly impacting religious, cultural, and political landscapes.

What were the issues that caused people to become discontent with the Church before the Protestant Reformation?

Catholic AnswerThe only "issues" that caused people to become discontent with the Church before the protestant revolt were sin. If you read history, you will quickly find out that the vast majority of people had no problems with the Church. The only people that actively complained about the Church at the time of the protestant revolt were people who were actively sinning, and did not want to be held responsible by God for their sins, so they decided to change what God was asking of them!


What explains the beginnings of the protestants reformation?

In short, Martin Luther found theological issues with Catholic doctrine, tried to get the problems corrected, and brought the issues to attention by nailing a list of the problems he found on the church door (known as the "41 Theses"). The leaders of the church refused to change anything and threatened to excommunicate Luther if he didn't retract his statements. He refused, and was excommunicated from the Catholic church. He then founded his own church, known today as the Lutheran church. This started a trend of people making their own churches, like the King of England and the Anglican church.
