century, which resulted in the formation of the various
Protestant churches.
[1913 Webster]

Syn: Reform; amendment; correction; rectification.

Usage: {Reformation}, {Reform}. Reformation is a more
thorough and comprehensive change than reform. It is
applied to subjects that are more important, and
results in changes which are more lasting. A
reformation involves, and is followed by, many
particular reforms. "The pagan converts mention this
great reformation of those who had been the greatest
sinners, with that sudden and surprising change which
the Christian religion made in the lives of the most
profligate." --Addison. "A variety of schemes, founded
in visionary and impracticable ideas of reform, were
suddenly produced." --Pitt.
