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.
