Apostolic Catholic Church

The Protestant Reformation was a major reform of the Christian church in response to problems that were found in the Catholic Church. Many people started to break away and form new Christian churches. The 1500s were times of alteration in and transformation of the church, and of social and political structures. Baptist, Anglican, Presbyterian and many other denominations of the protestant church are prominent in today’s society. However these types of churches did not always exist, and to…

But this dominance in Europe would not last throughout the next one hundred years. This was a time period before the Protestant Reformation begun by professor and munk: Martin Luther, that was to challenge the Catholic Church not only in its systematic practices, hierarchy, and Biblical interpretation, but most importantly, challenge its widespread followers and believers in Europe. Historian Hans Hillerbrand, in his book The Protestant Reformation, comments that by…

I attended a sunrise service at St Madeleine Catholic Church in High Springs with a customer of mine from my workplace while I typically attend Westside Baptist Church in Gainesville with my family. Within the worship I couldn’t…

thesis against the Catholic Church, not a physical attack. However, Luther’s thesis would trigger the Protestant Reformation which would come to have violent ramifications all over Europe, which brings us to my thesis. Does religion incite or cause conflict? Both warfare and religion are large and diverse subjects, so this essay will look at some of the areas where these two areas coincided within Europe and the United States. In central and western Europe, the Catholic Church had grown…

Furthermore, Archbishop Claudio Celli, head of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, professed to a group of journalists, “And we forget that most fish are outside the aquarium.
