Protestant Reformation The Reformation was a time when some people started a new church because they were unhappy with the Catholic Church. It all started a long time ago when a man named St. Jerome translated the Bible into a language that regular people could understand. But over time, the Catholic Church became disconnected from the people because the language changed and it became hard to understand. There were also problems with corruption in the Church, like people paying money for church jobs and family members getting special treatment. Some priests didn't even show up to work or couldn't understand what they were reading. One of the biggest problems was the sale of indulgences, where the Pope said he could forgive people's sins if they paid money. This made a man named Martin Luther very upset. In the past, people who challenged the church were punished, but now with the printing press, more people could share their ideas. Gutenberg printed lots of copies of the Bible, making it easier for people to have access to it. The Bible used to be hard to get, but now it can be printed and given to more people.
