One of the most important effects of black death against Western Europe is the change in relations between humans and the church, as it can not effectively deal with black death. After the plague occurred in 1347, people sought an answer to the Catholic church which operated society in the Middle Ages. A few years later, the church failed to respond effectively to this epidemic, formally forming a denominating himself from the church.

In the early sixteenth century many events led to Protestant reform. Clergy abuse caused people to criticize the Catholic Church. A greedy and disgraceful priestly living made a split between them and farmers. In addition, clergy usually do not respond to the needs of the population because they do not speak the local language or live in their parish. The pope lost his reputation. The Bible is printed in Latin only and is not printed in the local language. Printing is managed by the church through the censoring system. The Catholic Mass, the main religious service of the Church, is also Latin. This means that people can not see if the pastor is right or not.
