Best answer

A major achievement of the reformists was to translate the Bible into the popular languages of the people.
Printing Bible in large quantities made it available to all people.
Previously the Bible was only in Latin which ordinary people did not understand.
Translation of the Bible helped the common people to understand the teachings of the sacred book.
The ideas of reformation took hold of many people in Germany, Holland, France, and England.
In all these states people with diverse faith emerged and they started interpreting Christianity.
Thus the influence and power of the Roman Catholic Church declined.
Later, the Catholic Church itself did not escape the impact of these ideas, and began to reform itself from within.
