However, all of these movements were largely confined to their respective regions and brutally suppressed by the Catholic church, preventing them from spreading further. The Protestant Reformation has its background inRenaissanceHumanism, an intellectual movement favouring scholarship and critical thinking, which began in Italy before spreading to the rest of Europe. The Papacy during the Renaissance was so corrupt that the need for reform was widely acknowledged
