Chapter 6: Renaissance IV

The Roman Church launched an extensive campaign to stop and reverse the spread of the Protestant movement.

This became known as the Catholic Reformation or the Counter Reformation to some people.

New Monastic orders, such as the Society of Friends, or Jesuits, were founded to stop the spread of the Reformation

The Jesuits used any means necessary to gain converts for Rome and reverse the gains of the Protestants

a meeting of high church officials where they wrote a statement of Roman Catholic beliefs and practices

Huguenots- French Protestants

Edict of Nantes- Henry of Navarre became king of France and guaranteed limited religions toleration

The Thirty Years' War- the last great religious war fought in Europe

The wars that erupted were for territory but also fought over religion. In the end the Roman Church did not win everyone over.
