Not all Europeans broke with the fold of the catholic church.Mostly,Northern European is nation who broke from the Catholic church except Lithuania and Poland.The period when reformers attacked the teaching of the church was mostly during the end of the Medieval period and the Renaissance period.
The Catholic Church, nor any other Church, ever declared war on "the Dark Ages". The Dark Ages were actually the apex of Catholic Power in Europe. The Renaissance came about through a non-ecclesiastical movement among merchants in northern Italy.
Northern Renaissance versus Italian Renaissance Italian Renaissance's main medium were Frescos. In Northern Europe, they used oil. (See DaVinci's "The Last Supper" and Jan Van Eyck's "Arnolfini Wedding") During the Reformation and Counter Reformation, Italian painters made Catholic Church commissioned paintings. In the North, the paintings had far more secular subjects, and they had darker religious themes (if indeed the subject were religious). See artists/architects: Italian Renaissance Artists: Giotto, Donatello, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Boticelli, DaVinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Palladio, Caravaggio, Gentileschi*, Bernini* Non-Italian Renaissance Artists: Limbourg Brothers, Christine de Pizan, Campin, Van der Weyden, Durer, Grunewald, Bosch, Bruegel, Rubens*, Rembrant*, Vermeer* * indicates a post Renaissance theme (Mannarism, Baroque, etc)
The Church was made better.

Secular music was played outside of church services.
Secular Renaissance track used to be written for leisure functions and is used backyard of the church. For example, Madrigals are secular vocal songs besides accompaniment that had been famous for the duration of Europe.
Northern Renaissance humanists focused on more religious ideas, compared to the Italian Renaissance's secular focus. The Northern Renaissance was more concerned with church reform and returning to the ways of the early Christian Church.
The main types of northern Renaissance music used for church services were the Mass and the motet. The Mass typically featured polyphonic settings of the Ordinary texts (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei), while the motet was a polyphonic choral composition often based on a sacred text. Both forms were intricately crafted and showcased the composers' skill in writing elaborate vocal harmonies.
The northern Renaissance author who challenged the Church with "In Praise of Folly" was Desiderius Erasmus, a Dutch philosopher and theologian. This satirical work criticized various aspects of the Catholic Church and called for reform within the Church.
Northern Renaissance: nation-states Italy: city-states Northern: strongly influenced by church Italy: less influenced by church Northern: began after Italy Italy: began before Northern Northern: focused on bible, church Italy: focused on classics (Greek/Roman)
The clergy members had better education, church services were more attractive, and Catholicism spread throughout the world
The Pope was in charge of the church during the Renaissance. Throughout the Renaissance, there were several popes.
IF you mean the Renaissance in Europe, it was the Catholic Church, the church of the Apostles.
Answer by a CatholicI don't think the Church had much say in the whether the Renaissance happened or not.
Tom Sawyer found church boring and unexciting. He often felt restless and disinterested during the services, preferring adventures and excitement outside of the church walls.
Humanist's ideas separating from Catholic Church Art (more Gothic themes) Hope this helps =)
