Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Martin Luther's challenge to papal authority sparked the Reformation. Luther's criticism of the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences and his belief in the authority of scripture over papal authority led to the formation of Protestantism and a split in Christianity. While Henry VIII played a role in England's break from the Catholic Church, Luther's challenge came first and had a significant impact on the movement.
