Catholics cried out for reform due to widespread corruption within the Church, including the sale of indulgences and the opulent lifestyles of clergy. Additionally, the growing influence of Humanism and the Renaissance emphasized personal faith and scripture, leading many to question Church practices. The Protestant Reformation, spearheaded by figures like Martin Luther, further fueled calls for change, highlighting the need for a return to biblical foundations and genuine spirituality. These factors combined to create a strong desire for reform within the Catholic Church.
