The Bible, especially reading the Bible, played an important part in the reformation.

People like John Wycliffe, Jan Huss, Martin Luuther, John Calvin actually read the Bible and could see the Roman Catholic church taught false doctrines and practiced things that were not in the Bible-especially the teaching and the sale of indulgences or the abuses thereof, and simony, the selling and buying of clerical offices. The reformers saw these and other things as evidence of the systemic corruption of the Church's Roman Catholic Church hierarchy, which included the Pope.
