Martin Luther
Elizabeth I
Queen Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. When she gained the throne, she wanted Protestantism to return back so the pope of England granted her her own legal church in England with her as the head called Anglican Church. She came up with plans to satisfy the Catholics and the Protestants. Elizabeth brought religious peace to the church. Religion was still a problem because Protestants wanted her to push it further while the Catholics threatened her as well as the Catholic king of Spain.
John Calvin
How did the change impact society at the time?
How is that change evidence in today's society?
In today's society, faith is still a huge concept. People have more right's to do what they want because the church does not have full power over Europe anymore. Science has evolved because of being able to have more free will. we now have the ideas of scientists such as the Heliocentric Model and others. With the decrease of Church power, Europe has helped change everything into what it is today, like a chain reaction.
