In the 1500’s northern humanists argued that the Roman Catholic Church had lost sight of its spiritual mission. Reformation- the split in the church in western Europe. The basic reason for the Reformation was a disagreements with the practices of the Catholic Church.

16 Causes Ignored concerns
Church Humanists Claimed church was more concerned with its income, rather than saving souls. Pope was acting like a ruler, rather than a moral leader Wanted a new emphasis on personal faith and spirituality Ignored concerns Church only would associate with people who had the same beliefs Ignored Humanists totally
