| | Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 - February 18, 1546) was a Christian theologian and Augustinian monk whose teachings inspired the Lutheran and Protestant Reformations and deeply influenced the doctrines of Protestant and other Christian traditions (a broad movement composed of many congregations and church bodies). | | | His call to the Church to return to the teachings of the Bible resulted in the formation of new traditions within Christianity and the Counter-Reformation in the Roman Catholic Church, culminating at the Council of Trent. | | | Slowly, terms like penance and righteousness took on new meaning. |

| | A History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland By William Cobbett at Tiber River Catholic Book Reviews - your source for honest reviews of Catholic books. |
| | William Cobbett, the author of this book, is unabashedly pro-Catholic in this writing, showing that England was far better off before the Protestant "Reformation" of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I than she was afterwards. | | | WRITTEN between 1824and 1827 by an English Protestant, A History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland has been reprinted many times by Catholic publishers because it gives the true and usually untold story of the Protestant Revolt in England during the 16th century, revealing its disastrous consequences in the lives of the people. | | | In all, Cobbett's History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland will be an eye-opening education for the person accustomed to the bland, factless, Churchless, accepted "history" found in so many books today. |

| | The protestant Minority Churches in Lithuania - Slavenas |
| | The Protestant Reformation began in 1517, and already in 1525, Duke Albrecht (Albert) of Brandenburg, the last Grand-Master of the Order of the Teutonic Knights, secularized the moribund Order, renounced Roman Catholicism, and founded on the territories of the Order a new state which was to become the first Lutheran state in northeastern Europe. | | | Lithuanian Protestants are certainly no exception and likewise did not escape the typical psychological and sociological traumas, and especially so in a country which to this day calls itself the "Land of the Virgin Mary" and worships Our Lady of Šiluva for having delivered Lithuania from the Reformation. | | | He also maintained a correspondence with John Calvin and J. Laski and aided persecuted Protestants from other countries, offering hospitality to the leaders of the most radical branch of the Reformation, the Antitrinitarians (present Unitarians), who in Poland and Lithuania were known as Arians or Socinians, and to Anabaptists. |

| | The term is doubly misplaced, for example, in a section titled “The Counter-Reformation as World Mission.” Catholic missionary activity in the New World preceded the Reformation, as MacCulloch himself discusses, and even after it began, Catholic missionaries sought not to reverse the Reformation but rather to convert non-Christians who had nothing to do with Protestantism. | | | MacCulloch further claims that in the wake of Protestant catechetical efforts, “Roman Catholics followed suit,” even though catechisms and catechetical instruction preceded the Reformation. | | | MacCulloch marshals vast erudition in a simultaneously synthetic and analytical narrative, and The Reformation is a remarkable achievement by any measure. |

| | Articles - Protestant Reformation |
| | Protestants generally trace their separation from the Roman Catholic Church to the 16th century, which is sometimes called the magisterial Reformation because the movement received support from the magistrates, the ruling authorities (as opposed to the radical Reformation, which had no state sponsorship). | | | The Protestant Reformation was a movement which emerged in the 16th century as a series of attempts to reform the Roman Catholic Church in Western Europe. | | | The success of the Counter-Reformation on the Continent and the growth of a Puritan party dedicated to further Protestant reform polarised the Elizabethan Age, although it was not until the 1640s that England underwent religious strife comparable to that which her neighbours had suffered some generations before. |

| | Maurenbrecher was by the very employment of the term the first historian to parallel in a broadly influential way the Reformation with a "Catholic Reformation." Maurenbrecher's usage enraged many of his fellow Lutherans, for Reformation was so laden with theological presuppositions in Protestant circles as to mean no rival was possible. | | | Meanwhile in Germany in the late nineteenth century Eberhard Gothein and Wilhelm Maurenbrecher, two German Lutherans, picked up on von Ranke's thesis that the Catholic phenomenon was propelled in part by spiritual and religious forces--it was not just brute force--and in 1880 Maurenbrecher coined the new term, katholische Reformation, Catholic Reformation. | | | By the end of the 19th century the term had begun to wend its way into other languages, taking on connotations consonant with these different cultures--contre-réforme in France, controriforma in Italy, contrarreforma in Spanish-speaking lands, and Counter Reformation. |
