	The '''Protestant Reformation''' was a movement within the [[Christian]] faith that refused to recognize the authority of the [[Catholic Church]] and instead follow the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation. ~~The break between [[Protestant]]s and Catholics is referred to as the [[Great Schism]].~~		The '''Protestant Reformation''' was a movement within the [[Christian]] faith that refused to recognize the authority of the [[Catholic Church]] and instead follow the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation.

	One of the defining characteristics of a Protestant is they believe that the [[Bible]] alone is all that is needed to have a relationship to [[Christ]] and [[God]], and only though a personal relationship with Christ would ensure a soul's salvation. This stripped down version of Christianity made the rituals and policies established by the Catholic Church unnecessary, a distraction, and a temptation into corruption and greed in the eyes of the Protestants.
