Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As Humanism rose, it was not pushed from the church or banned as heresy. It was welcomed by some of the Popes to use to their advantage. The Church was quick to embrace the Humanism religious painting that brought the saints and the Lord to life and prompted the soul and heart to respond.

Detailed explanation-2: -Warfare intensified after the Catholic Church began the Counter-Reformation against the growth of Protestantism in 1545. The conflicts culminated in the Thirty Years’ War, which devastated Germany and killed one third of its population, a mortality rate twice that of World War I.

Detailed explanation-3: -Humanism in the Renaissance was a revolutionary concept that deeply challenged the Catholic Church. Humanists commonly laid fierce criticisms at the Church for perceptions of widespread corruption and stale theology.

These problems included priests not being well educated and some of the higher leaders in the Church being corrupt. In addition, Luther stated that the Pope himself had too much power over the Church and politics.
