(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Hard of History

During the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church was the dominant religious institution in Europe, exerting great political and cultural power. However, in the 16th century, the Protestant movement emerged as a reaction to the abuses and practices of the Church, challenging its authority and leading to a significant division in Christianity. Reflect on the following questions: 1. How did Martin Luther's ideas contribute to the Protestant Reformation and what were the main points of conflict with the Catholic Church? 2. Explain to what extent the Counter-Reformation, promoted by the Catholic Church in response to Protestantism, was able to reform its practices and regain lost influence. Analyze the historical context and social implications of these movements for 16th-century Europe.
