Abstract
Reformation was a theological movement in 16th century Europe
to reform the Catholic Christianity. Luther, Calvin and Zwingli
questioned the authority of dogma and supremacy of the pope in
Rome. This led to the formation of hundreds of sects in Western
Christianity. Salvation was sought outside the church.
Consequently, church was excluded from the cultural life of
Western societies. Reformation also gradually established the
role of political authority in religious matters.
