Reform of the Church

The Reform of the Church refers to a period in the 16th century when many people sought to address issues like corruption, abuses of power, and theological disagreements within the Catholic Church. Leaders like Martin Luther and others challenged practices such as indulgences and called for greater focus on faith and scripture. This movement led to significant changes, including the Protestant Reformation, which resulted in the creation of new Christian denominations and reforms within the Catholic Church itself. Overall, it was a crucial moment of renewal and deep reflection aimed at revitalizing the Church's mission and integrity.
