The Reformation was a movement in the 16th century that led to the division of Christianity into Protestant and Catholic branches. It contributed to the spread of new ideas regarding individual interpretation of religious texts, the rejection of certain practices of the Catholic Church, and a focus on personal relationships with God. Overall, the Reformation played a significant role in shaping modern Christianity and influencing various aspects of society in Europe.

A large part of why the Reformation gained so much steam was because the put upon and forgotten and abused had suffered under the apathy of the Catholic Church for so long. Seeing the principals of the Reformation relating to the uplifting of their own needs was a crucial point that carried the movement into the modern age.

Luther's reaction to the Peasants' War was generally unsupportive, fearing the chaos it could bring. While this did not directly lead to the Counter-Reformation, it did contribute to the fractured state of Christianity in Europe, prompting further religious unrest and debates. The Counter-Reformation was more a response to the Protestant Reformation, focusing on reforms within the Catholic Church to address criticisms raised by reformers like Luther.
The Catholic Reformation and the counter reformation are two expressions for the same thing.
