The project I choose was to attend a worship service of a different religion. I choose to attend a Catholic Church called Holy Name in San Antonio Texas. My parents have been attending that church since I was little. I never wanted to go to church with them because I thought it was boring and couldn’t keep still.

Religious reformers such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Henry the eighth all challenged the ideas, vision, and authority of the Catholic Church.
