While it is true that the Reformation and subsequent Enlightenment divided the Christian people into sects, denominations, the reason for the reformation was the absolute travesty Catholicism, particularly the papacy and clergy, had become, where it cared less for scripture and more about doctrine politics and dogma. Without the reformation, the Bible would not have been translated into languages people could read, so that they could read for themselves the power of Christ. While we see much of the same problem with Catholics today, there are many many Protestants who know the living word and truth of God, to bring them in closer fellowship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
