Why did John Calvin challenge the Catholic Church?
Martin Luther opposed the Church because he felt he wasn't going to get saved by them. he thought the Catholic way of things was not going to get him into heaven. He said that you needed faith in the risen lord to get there and that good deeds alone will get you there. So Luther started the protestant reformation
.
Catholic AnswerMartin Luther protested the Catholic Church because the Church insisted on proclaiming the teaching of Our Blessed Lord and Savior, and Martin Luther was unable to abide with either the moral teaching of the Church or with his vows - which he had taken voluntarily after years of careful reflection. When the Church wouldn't change its teaching to accommodate Luther's lifestyle, he rewrote and edited the Bible, and started his own "church". John Calvin was a generation later, and was a French scholar in contrast to Martin Luther, who was a German peasant. I am putting links for both of them below:Was john Calvin a protestant or a puritan?
John Calvin was definitely not a Puritan. Puritans desired to reform the Anglican Church (Church of England) without splitting from it. They are identical to Separatists in England, except for Separatists desired to separate from the Anglican Church. Both Reformation churches saw a need to cleanse the Anglican Church of its Catholic influence. The Anglican Church was initially created as a governmental reform, that lacked any real substantive theological reform.
Calvin sought to break with the Catholic Church despite his early ecclesiastical support from the Catholic Church. Calvin was born in Noyon, France, and after education and several moves, conducted most of his work in Geneva, Switzerland. His ire against the Catholic Church was significant, like the Puritans; however, his theology was significantly different. He believed in paedobaptism and consubstantiation, which are both quite different from Puritanical theology.
Both Puritans and Protestants seek the Gospel, and both have a variety of sects within each group. While there are quite a few similarities, John Calvin's theology is much closer to Luther's and Zwingli's than to any of the notable English reformers.

What was the role of Calvinism in France during the Renaissance?
The Renaissance began long before Calvinism existed. A form of Protestantism dating back to Wycliffe emphasizing Bible reading existed in France during the Renaissance. A man named Hugo had a monastery and trained followers in Wycliffe's teaching. His followers called Huguenots, went out from that monastery spreading Bibles bringing them to the people. Wycliffe's movement, while Protestant, stayed in the Roman Catholic Church. It differed it that it gave the Bible to the people, it opposed transubstantiation, and it taught justification by faith. In other respects, it remained Roman Catholic.
As a result during the Renaissance, French Roman Catholicism was a much softer form of the faith than it was in other countries. The abuses by the church in Spain or Germany were impossible in France. That did not stop abuses by the government as in the case of the Cathari and other groups.
After Luther rose to prominence France briefly became Protestant. Then Charles V became Emperor and France again became Roman Catholic. At that point Protestant influence began declining. At that point Calvin began writing in Geneva. Many Protestants remained in France.
What did the puritains or calvinists refer to themselves as?
When Calvinism first took off, those who believed in Calvinism were dubbed "Followers of Calvin", which later then just called " the belief of Calvinism".

--give me the answer, stupid. grrrrr!
John Calvin (Middle French: Jean Cauvin; 10 July 1509 - 27 May 1564) was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism. Originally trained as a humanist lawyer, he broke from the Roman Catholic Church around 1530. After religious tensions provoked a violent uprising against Protestants in France, Calvin fled to Basel, Switzerland, where he published the first edition of his seminal work Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1536.
Calvin introduced new forms of church government and liturgy, despite the opposition of several powerful families in the city who tried to curb his authority. He was also a tireless polemic and apologetic writer who generated much controversy.
DId Calvinism have the greatest impact on History?
"The year 2009 marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of the great Geneva Reformer John Calvin. With the exception of Martin Luther, no man has had more influence on the way the nations in the West view government, theology, and history than John Calvin. Though his views of Church government are the foundation for most Reformed and Presbyterian denominations, most are unaware that his teachings helped influence western liberty, culminating in the establishment of the United States' tri-partite system of government. Regrettably, few barley acknowledge his contribution. And when he is mentioned, he is often portrayed as a cold, emotionless scholar who sat in an ivory tower handing out death sentences against anyone who dared to disagree with him.
The truth, however, is better than fiction. Calvin's biographers tell us that he was a loving husband, a caring father and a passionate pastor. His basic religious beliefs involved faith alone for salvation, the universal priesthood of all believers, the absolute sovereignty of God, and the Bible as the basis for all Christian teachings. As Church historian Robert A. Baker observed,
"Calvin rejected all tradition and insisted on a fresh start from the direct teachings of Scripture. In addition, the Calvinistic system was more nearly self-consistent in its teaching and its methods. Its emphasis on God's predestination in human experience put iron into the souls of those who fought the Roman (Roman Catholic Church) system."" Every seminary student who earns a degree of any merit will become familiar with John Calvin and his 3 volume, "Institutes of the Christian Religion." In this systematic theology, Calvin elucidates the core beliefs of the Christian faith and documents the history of Christian thought by extensively citing patristic writings as well as ancient creeds and councils of the Christian church. Calvin also writes extensive commentaries on every book of the Old and New Testament (except the book of Revelation).
