The reformation was necessary in order to get the Body of Christ back to Biblical roots, freeing it from all the baggage of "tradition". Unfortunately the enlightenment philosophies entered in as well. Pope Pius X wrote an encyclical condemning the infiltration of Modernism into the Catholic Church in the early 1900's. It is obviously from a Catholic perspective, but the warnings were/are poignant. The Protestant Churches were/are suffering from the same disease which found its beginnings during the Renaissance. And some early protestant theologians were way off on their Biblical interpretation.
But all in all it was a necessary event.
