Detailed explanation-1: -The reformers rejected the authority of the pope as well as many of the principles and practices of Catholicism of that time. The essential tenets of the Reformation are that the Bible is the sole authority for all matters of faith and conduct and that salvation is by God’s grace and by faith in Jesus Christ.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Impact of the Reformation In Protestant countries, people no longer had allegiance to the Pope: the secular ruler became the highest authority. In Catholic countries, the Church gave more power to secular rulers to help fight Protestantism. In general, France, Italy, Spain and Southern Germany remained Catholic.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Roman Catholic Church responded to the Protestant challenge by purging itself of the abuses and ambiguities that had opened the way to revolt and then embarked upon recovery of the schismatic branches of Western Christianity with mixed success.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Protestant Reformation that occurred in Europe during the 16th century was caused by the overall corruption of the church and wrong use of papal power. The Reformation affected the power of the church and prompted the rest of the world to question their church’s authority.
