Oddly, the answer is "The Reformation" or "The Protestant Reformation" which officially started in 1517 when Martin Luther nailed his "95 Theses" to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The split had a great deal to do with the Renaissance period in which it was taking place, as much conventional wisdom was being questioned during that time, but the driving motivation behind the Reformation was over theological differences. Some of it was based on fervent and growing nationalism, and over corruption in the Curia, the ecclesiastical court which assisted with the governance of the Roman Catholic church. The practice of selling "indulgences" was a major influencer in the Reformation.

What are characteristics of Iskcon known as the Hare Krishna movement?

According its founder, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami: "Krishna consciousness movement is the most important movement for the upliftment of the human society". Basically, God consciousness can be achieved with any bona fide system. Prabhupada: And there is no question of Christian God or Hindu God or Muslim God. God is one. So there should be no difference between the system. According to the time and circumstances, there may be little difference, but really if we can understand God, either through Christianity or through Hinduism or Muslim, that is our profit. Why then was the Hare Krishna movement founded? Prabhupada: "And therefore I ask the Christians that Lord Christ says that, "Thou shall not kill," why you are killing? They give some vague explanation. But actually a real Christian is as good as a real Hindu, as a real Muslim-if he follows." In other words, to give an example to people in general how to be better Christians, better Muslims, better Hindus.
