Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

it did not aid it directly!.!.!.
It made society in italy, especially rome, want things that were more luxurious, and thus separated them more from the poorer germans!. (keep in mind that the reformation started with Martin Luther in germany) The popes that ruled in the few centuries leading up to the reformation became more and more greedy when it came to collecting their tithes (taxes made by the church) and gave forgiveness from God to the masses by making them give even more money!. These events are what set up the attitude necessary for a break in the church to occur!. So the renaissance DID aid the reformation, but not directly!.

P!.S!. of the two people above me, the first is simply wrong and the second put no effort into his selectionWww@QuestionHome@Com

Papal corruption during the Renaissance provided the background for the Protestant Reformation and alienated many followers of the established church!. Martin Luther and his colleagues entered upon a basic theological revolution, reacting in part to the state of the papacy!. They denounced the whole accepted view of God's relation to humanity and began a movement that split the Western Church!.

Although reformation within the church began in the 1520s, papal involvement did not begin until the election (1534) of Paul III (see Counter Reformation)!. The Council of Trent (1545–47, 1551–52, 1562–63; see Trent, Council of) undertook to lay out the new definitions and regulations that reconstructed the church, including the papacy!. The other major work of the 16th-century popes was the new development of foreign missions, which, as in ancient times, enhanced papal prestige!. Of the several orders concerned with reform and missions, the Jesuits (see Jesus, Society of) were the best known!. The 16th cent!. also saw the stabilization of the Papal States as they would remain until the 19th cent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
