The Protestant Reformation led to conflict primarily because it challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and its practices, particularly regarding salvation and church governance. Indulgences were payments made to the Church that were said to reduce punishment for sins, which reformers like Martin Luther criticized as corrupt and a distortion of true Christian faith. This criticism ignited widespread theological debates and social unrest, ultimately resulting in wars and divisions within Christianity. The Reformation's challenge to established religious norms fueled tensions between Protestant reformers and Catholic authorities, leading to a lasting impact on European society.

The Protestant Reformation began as an attempt to reform the Roman Catholic Church, carried out by Western European Catholics who opposed what they perceived as false doctrines and ecclesiastic malpractice - especially the teaching and the sale of indulgences or the abuses thereof, and simony, the selling and buying of clerical offices - that the reformers saw as evidence of the systemic corruption of the Church's Roman hierarchy, which included the Pope.
