There were two main churches: Roman Catholic and Orthodox.

- UPDATE -

Actually there were three main churches at the time, the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox Church.

The Oriental Orthodox Church was the first church to break away from the Orthodox Church (Eastern Orthodox Church) in 451AD followed by the Roman Catholic Church in 1054AD.

How did the ideas and actions of the Protestant Reformation change is nature and status of the decline in European Christianity in the early 1500?

The Protestant Reformation, initiated by figures like Martin Luther, challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and its practices, leading to the fragmentation of Christianity in Europe. This movement emphasized personal faith and scripture over church tradition, effectively diminishing the Catholic Church's monopoly on religious life. As various Protestant denominations emerged, the decline of a unified Christian authority became evident, creating a landscape of religious pluralism that fundamentally altered the status of Christianity in Europe. Consequently, the Reformation not only catalyzed religious reform but also contributed to the broader decline of institutional Christianity's influence in societal and political realms.
