The Plague/The Black Death
This was where most people believed that it was God's punishment for people sinning, but most of the church buildings weren't infected, and the priests who actually did do sacraments to the infected, also died. People didn't want to die, so they tried everything, like self punishment, so that God didn't punish them with the plague, and they did this by whipping themselves. Priests also did indulgences, which was where they would give out eternal life for an expensive fee, but this was a scam. -

The Reformation
Because of the indulgences, the church became corrupt with money, and people started leaving, because u don't need to give money to go to heaven, and the church didn't like the loss of followers. This led to the church becoming un-corrupt, and stopping these indulgences, and this was the church reforming with God. -
