A:A leading dictionary says that one definition of 'threatening' is (2) a sign or indication (of something undesirable).
There was also a fear of societal chaos if the common people did not follow the Church's leadership..Here are definitions of "threatening" from the web: adj: 1) adjective 1.Having a hostile or deliberately frightening quality or manner. 2.(of behavior) Showing an intention to cause bodily harm. Synonyms: minatory - menacing - ominous - minacious - forbiddingSorry, none of these could conceivably be used of how the Catholic Church viewed the protestant revolt. The Catholic Church did see it as a disaster. After all, Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, established the Catholic Church as His Mystical Body, and appointed Peter, and his successors to lead it, and sent the Holy Spirit to guide it until the end of the world FOR A REASON: the Church, as Christ's Mystical Body (see Acts 9:4 where Jesus says that Saul is persecuting HIM) cannot fail - it is guaranteed by God, Himself. However, the protestant revolt, as it was carried out the princes of the people, removed the only way that God had organized for the people to be saved - grace through His Church and His Sacraments. Thousands upon thousands of people, and generations following them were denied access to Christ's Church and to His Sacraments because of the sin and pride of a few men, can you think of anything worse?

What do you think was the most permanent impact of the Reformation?
A:One obvious outcome of the Protestant Reformation was the breakup of the Catholic Church, with the creation of Protestant Churches. Another, more indirect, effect was the reformation of the Catholic Church itself. Both of these outocmes are reversible. For example, it is conceivable that the Catholic and Protestant Churches could, one day in the future, reconcile and recombine. Similarly, the Catholic Church could one day become as corrupt as it was in the Renaissance period - and perhaps it has already gone down that path, given revelations about the financial affairs of the Church and those about widespread child abuse.One effect that is more likely to remain permanent is the loss by the Catholic Church of absolute power over the lives of people. The Reformation allowed democracy to take root, and even gave secular authorities power to investigate criminal activity by clergy, should this occur within the relevant jurisdictions. It also allowed people to make their own decisions on how and whether to worship God.

What was the name of the church that broke off of the Catholic Church and who was the leader?
There have been several splits from the Catholic Church. The two major splits that you could be referring to is the East-West Schism which occurred in 1054 (though it could be argued the divide started much earlier) and the Protestant Reformation which occurred in 1517. There can't be one person credited for leading the East-West Schism since there were many factors that caused the divide. You could say that the dispute between Pope Leo IX and Michael Cerularius is ultimately what caused the formal split of the two churches resulting in both excommunicating each other. The resulting church was the Eastern Orthodox Church. The person who started the Protestant Reformation was Martin Luther. It is incorrect to say that Martin Luther "lead" the split from the Catholic Church because he went to the grave claiming to still be Catholic. There are several resulting churches from the Reformation, the most notable being the Lutheran Church. But it must be noted that Protestants will trace their beginnings back to the Reformation.
