The Reformation challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and led to the rise of Protestantism, which diminished the church's influence over political matters.

Thus, the Reformation indirectly facilitated the rise of absolutist states by prompting rulers to strengthen their centralized power in the wake of religious fragmentation.
