The reformers, particularly during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, were primarily rebelling against the Roman Catholic Church and its practices. They opposed the Church's authority, corruption, and the sale of indulgences, advocating for a return to biblical teachings and personal faith. Key figures like Martin Luther and John Calvin sought to reform the Church from within but ultimately led to the establishment of various Protestant denominations. Their actions significantly altered the religious landscape of Europe and diminished the Catholic Church's power.
Yes, the Lutheran Church did originate from the teachings of the Protestant reformer, Martin Luther. The Lutheran Church has many synods, or branches, with each differing slightly in belief. It is important to note that the Lutheran Church today may differ from some of Martin Luther's ideals, as he was one of many reformers or renewers of the Church. Martin Luther had concerns with the immoral practices occurring in the Roman Catholic Church during his time. Today the Roman Catholic Church has abandoned many of those practices.

There were no reformers. The Catholic church was in full control of the society.
The overall corruption of the church was a big concern. The biggest example of the church's corruption was the selling of "indulgences" by the Pope and the Catholic Church.

Well, the Catholic Church itself did not really change its doctorines. The Church is incapable of changing doctrines, as they are revealed by God, and not something made up by people. Some of the people within the Catholic Church were abusing the doctorines and practices around the time of the reformation. For example, some people were buying and selling indulgences, which is condemmed by the Catholic Church. Many Protestant Reformers were unhappy about these types of abuses.
