1.	How was the criticism of the Roman Catholic Church, a cause for reformation?
Answer» The Catholic Church, throughout its long history, has on occasion been subject to criticism regarding various beliefs and practices. Within the Church, this INCLUDES differences of opinion regarding the use of Latin at Mass, and the subject of clerical celibacy. In the past, different interpretations of scripture and CRITIQUES of clerical laxity and opulence contributed to separations such as the schism with the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Protestant Reformation. The Catholic Church has also been criticized for its active efforts to influence political DECISIONS, such as the Church's promotion of the Crusades and its involvement with various 20th century nationalist regimes. More RECENT criticism focuses on alleged scandals within the Church, particularly alleged financial corruption and the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandals.i hope this is helpful
