What caught my attention about this chapter was learning about how much of an influence and how widespread Christianity was throughout the 1500's and on. The Protestant Reformation played a huge part
in history and caused serious divisions came about between Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox sects. The Protestant Reformation put forth a new understanding of Christianity and coming to the faith and also questioned the authority of the pope. The Protestant reformation also provoked a Catholic Counter reformation. Ultimately Christianity spread like a wildfire through out the whole world, affecting many many people and converting many also. I find is amazing and ultimately awesome that Christianity is still very widespread throughout our world today and I am proud to call it my religion.
