What are the causes of the protestant reformation?
"All the causes" would fill a whole library. The word 'reformation' indicates that we are talking about the efforts of (at the time) Roman Catholic priests and scholars to reform the ills of the Roman Catholic church from within. Those ills differed depending on who was complaining: Luther alone had 95 issues he wanted to have reformed within the Church. Things to be reformed that were most often mentioned: the enormous riches of bishops and convents; scandalous private lives of bishops and priests; the interpretation given by the Church to Bible texts and the validity of the doctrines of the Church itself.

What are the attitudes of German commoners to the Roman Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerFor the most part, love; the love that any child has for its mother. The poor Germans who were deprived of their Church by their leaders who followed Martin Luther away from the Church in search of personal power and riches are to be pitied as they had little choice, and not enough gumption to fight their overlords.
What changes did King Henry VIII make to the Catholic church?
Roman Catholic AnswerKing Henry VIII of England made no changes to the Catholic Church, he left the Church and established his own church in England: the Church of England. You got to be kidding. Henry the 8th razed all the monastaries and confiscated all the riches therein to fatten his coffers to finance his many wars.. He declared the Catholic religion to be outlawed and anybody who was caught practising was punished in ways we now think of as a sort of genocide. The whole of England practised what Henry said or you died. PERIOD

How did riches and power lead to church abuses and then to reform?
A:The Donation of Constantine, one of the most famous forgeries of all time, was composed in the eighth century, supposedly a record that Emperor Constantine had bestowed considerable riches and power on the papacy. This forgery either led to the Donation of Pepin or was used to justify that act. The outcome was that successive popes would enjoy incredible wealth and political power throughout Western Europe. Election to the papal chair became a prize to fight for and worthy of bribes sufficiently substantial to tempt the already wealthy cardinals.Throughout history, great wealth does not lead to satiation, since even the most wealthy soon indulge themselves to such an extent that they need even more sources of income. One of those sources was to be the sale of bishoprics; another was to be the sale of indulgences.The Catholic Church finally overreached itself, when Martin Luther objected to both these practices. When it was explained that income from the sale of indulgences would also help fund the restoration of St Peter's Basilica, Luther wrote, "Since the pope's income today is larger than that of the wealthiest of wealthy men, why does he not build this Church of St. Peter with his own money rather than with the money of indigent believers?" The Protestant Reformation shone light on the secrets of the Vatican and led ultimately to reform within the Catholic Church itself.
Why was Protestantism so successful?
The catholic church was exploiting the people. Previously, only the Catholic church had anyone educated enough to actually read the bible. With the invention of the printing press and the spread of literacy and education, the general public could see that 'oh hey, they lied about all this stuff, we don't actually have to pay the church to get into heaven, what do ya know'. One of the biggest issues Martin Luther had against the catholic church was the sale of indulgences, where people could pay the church to be forgiven for their 'indulgences' and basically pay their way into heaven. Martin Luther wanted to separate and create a church that was free of the corruption that was becoming more and more evident in the Catholic church. Pope Leo X especially, used the common folk's money to beautify the St Peter's basilica and lathe himself in riches. With the rising awareness of the people, greater outrage grew that they had been lied to about so many important aspects to their religion in the bible.
What is the significance of Catholicism?
