Also known as the Reformation; a period in time when Europeans broke awayfrom the Roman Catholic Church and formed new Christian churches

What happened? 

People did not agree with the way the Catholic Church was being run - They felt many of the churchleaders were acting like kings, fighting for wealth and power, rather than being representatives of God

Also, many disagreed with the church charging money for marriages, baptisms and indulgences.Indulgences are paying the church to forgive your sins.

 

The Protestant Reformation seriously weakened the power of the Catholic Church. The Churchfought back against Protestantism my making some reforms. The goals were to strengthen theCatholic Church and stop further Catholics from converting to the new Protestant religions –

The movement was known as the CATHOLIC COUNTER REFORMATION.
