Like many former Disney stars, France society rapidly declined in the 16th century. People thought there was just as much hope in France as Miley Cyrus (see below). The two are quite comparable....
Miley Cyrus changed due to fame but what happened to France!? Well, the biggest problem, after France lost Hasburg-Valois wars, was economics. The economics "came in like a wrecking ball" and added to the further decline of France. Because France was in heavy debt and needed money to build a strong army, they taxed the lower class who often couldn't pay. When this was not effective, they used faith for money thus combining the church and state. The Church wasn't any stronger however.
SIDENOTE: Due to such a drastic change in economy, people suffered from starvation, poverty, and even religion.

The second problem was the Huguenots (like garlic knots but not as good). They definitely were not as good according to the Catholics because they exiled and killed them. When in doubt just kill everybody! (Which by the way just caused more problems). "Instead of using force [the Catholics] should’ve let [them] win". However, the Church believed Catholicism and Calvinism could not coexist (NO RELIGIOUS PLURALISM!!) This led to St. Bartholomew's day massacre.
