Reason for Catholic and Protestant Reformation’ Great Impact on Europe

The Catholic and Protestant Reformation represent the radical, religious, academic and traditional disturbance that traumatized Catholic Europe in the 16th Century. It set in place the notions and opinions that would describe the continent in the contemporary period. In central and northern Europe, activists like John Calvin, and Martin Luther questioned papal power and probed the Catholic Church’s capability to define Christian exercise.

Having an extended republic may not look good in the short-term because of the evident divisions, but it is the answer to unity in the longer term. This is ...
