The Counter-Reformation: Defending Catholic Theology in Troubled Times

In the midst of religious upheaval in Europe during the 16th century, the Counter-Reformation led by Pope Paul III and the Council of Trent aimed to safeguard Catholic beliefs amidst the rise of Protestantism. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, played a pivotal role in this movement. The era was marked by religious wars like the Thirty Years War, characterized by brutality and devastation. This period saw the Defenestration of Prague and the struggles of European nations fighting for their religious beliefs. Explore the chaotic and tumultuous time of the Counter-Reformation, where conflict and strife overshadowed peace and unity.
