To earn a "Defender of the Faith" title from the pope
Calvin's reforms emphasized the sovereignty of God and predestination, focusing on a disciplined church structure and the importance of moral living, which contrasted with Luther's emphasis on justification by faith and personal faith experience. While Luther sought to reform the Catholic Church from within, Calvin established a more radical approach by creating a new church model, particularly in Geneva. King Henry VIII's reforms were largely politically motivated, centered on his desire to annul his marriage and establish the Church of England, which retained many Catholic doctrines and practices. Thus, Calvin's theological focus and church governance differed significantly from Luther's and Henry's more personal and political motivations.
Martin Luther is probably the name that you are looking for, although he really didn't try to make changes in the faith, at least that wasn't why he was declared a heretic. Pope Leo X issued Exsurge Domine on 15 June 1520 condemning the errors of Martin Luther, and Decet Romanum Pontificem on 3 January 1521 condemning and excommunicating Martin Luther and his followers. You may read them below, and the reasons for them.

Martin Luther lived 1483 - 1546 and was most active between 1505 and his death. Henry VIII was on the English throne for all of that period and, breaking from Rome, founded the Church of England.Emporer Charles (Karl) V of Germany variously sided with King and Rome so you are probably thinking of him..AnswerKing Henry VIII of England. Before he got into his marital troubles, and attempted to remedy them by leaving the Church and forming his own, Henry VIII was a loyal son of the Church. He was famous for writing a thesis called Assertio Septem Sacramentorum or Defence of the Seven Sacraments which was a condemnation of Martin Luther and this thesis condemning the sacraments.
Basically, the church was weakened because in the reforms they then used royal courts instead of church courts. Also, feudal lords because the royal courts were strengthened by Henry's reforms at the expense of the feudal lords.
Calvin's reforms emphasized predestination and a more systematic approach to theology, focusing on a disciplined church governance and the moral conduct of believers, which contrasted with Luther's emphasis on justification by faith alone and the authority of Scripture. Luther sought to reform the Catholic Church from within, while Calvin established a distinct Protestant tradition with a strong ecclesiastical structure. King Henry VIII's reforms were primarily political, motivated by his desire for an annulment and the establishment of the Church of England, rather than theological principles. Thus, while all three sought to reform Christianity, their motivations and approaches varied significantly.
