Sexual morality was significantly relaxed by the so-called reformation.

Actually, it was the other "R" word - the Renaissance. After that, the Enlightenment. Nice attempt at scapegoating, though.

Both the Renaissance and the so-called enlightenment were rivals to Catholic teaching and both were foundational in the Reformation.

The Renaissance, with all its faults did not desecrate monasteries, burn Holy Icons or "marry" nuns; nor did Michaelangelo start his own "church".
