During the middle ages, or renaissance, the church was a major part of everyday life. The church served to give people spiritual guidance and it served as their government as well. Now, in the 20th century, the church’s role has diminished(for most at least).

Answer:

The Ninety-five Theses led to the Reformation, a break with the Roman Catholic Church that previously claimed hegemony in Western Europe. Humanism and the Renaissance therefore played a direct role in sparking the Reformation, as well as in many other contemporaneous religious debates and conflicts.
