Question

Aim of Protestant Reformation was to ______.

Options

• reform religion

• reform the Catholic church

• reform Jewish religion

• to protest against all reform

Answer 1

The aim of the Protestant Reformation was to reform the Catholic church.

Explanation:

• Initiated in the 16th century by reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, the Protestant Reformation was a religious movement. Its primary goal was to:
  • Reform the corrupt practices of the Roman Catholic Church.
  • The sale of indulgences should be opposed.
  • Encourage easy access to the Bible and salvation on faith alone, without the need for rituals.

Protestant churches developed as a result of the Reformation's unique goal of reforming Catholicism, not all religions.
