Protestant Reformation

The 16th-century rupture with Rome over justification, authority, and the sacraments

The Protestant Reformation was the sixteenth-century movement that broke with Rome over justification, church authority, and the sacraments, sparked by Luther's Ninety-Five Theses and carried forward by figures such as Calvin and Zwingli. The traditions evaluate it differently: some communions regard it as a needed reform of the Church, while others view it as schism or heresy. It is recorded here neutrally as a watershed event in Christian history.
