Anytime that a lot of people begin to question any kind of authority (religion, government, etc), there will be a backlash by the authority. It's a good example of a social version of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Back during the times of the reformation, violence was the main plan of action when there was an uprising.
