Can you help me rephrase what this question is asking because I don't understand it.?

Given the sweeping changes seen in Europe following the middle ages, there can be little debate over the phrase that “everything affects everything”. Keeping that in mind, describe how changes in the Catholic Church, late Medieval Europe, and the Renaissance all tied together to prepare Europeans for the Reformation. What aspects of the Reformation can you relate directly to changing ideas emerging during the 200 or so years that preceded the schism? What consequences or repercussions did Western Civilizations face as a result of the Reformation?
