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.
The Protestant Reformation.
Pope John Paul II visited Nicaragua in 1983. The government was eager about the visit. Some reform-minded Catholics hoped the pope would speak about the country issues but the pope did not have any sympathetic messages.
Catholics refer to Luther's "reformation" as the protestant revolt. The Catholic Church reiterated and defined its teaching at the Council of Trent. The Counter-Reformation was led by scholars, and the Catholic Reform by Catholics.
