Puritans rejected the Catholic Church because they believed it was corrupt, emphasizing simplicity in religious practice and governance. They sought to purify the Church of England from what they perceived as remnants of Catholicism.
The word sought may be "cathedral" (a church).
A:The Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches separated in 1054 after a long period of growing differences. The final break occurred after the bishop of Rome, known in the west as the Pope, sought to change the Nicene Creed without authorisation by a Council of bishops.The Protestant Churches separated from the Catholic Church after Martin Luther failed in his attempts to reform it.
The Protestant Reformation :)
A:Martin Luther initially sought to work within the Catholic Church to reform the use of indulgences. The Catholic Church refused to countenance any change, as a result of which Luther started the Protestant Reformation. Ironically, his reforms eventually did lead to change within the Catholic Church, in the form of the Catholic Reformation.
The Catholic Reformation, also known as the Counter-Reformation, was prompted by the challenge posed by the Protestant Reformation. Leaders in the Catholic Church sought to address criticisms and reform certain practices within the church, such as corruption and the sale of indulgences, in order to combat the spread of Protestantism and strengthen the church's influence. This led to changes and revitalization within the Catholic Church.
Shakespeare was during Queen Elizabeth I's reign. Queen Elizabeth restored the Church of England to official power during Shakespearean times. Her predecessor backed the Roman Catholic Church.
The Reformation, led by Martin Luther and others, sought to reform the Catholic Church and ultimately led to the formation of Protestant denominations. The Counter-Reformation was the Catholic Church's response to the Reformation, focusing on reforming itself, reaffirming Catholic doctrine, and combating the spread of Protestantism.
Catholic leaders launched the Counter-Reformation in response to the Protestant Reformation, which challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and led to the loss of followers. They sought to address corruption within the Church, reaffirm their teachings, and win back those who had converted to Protestantism.
The Puritans had sought to reform the Anglican Church. They believed that the Church of England had not gone far enough in separating itself from Roman Catholicism, and believed the church still pushed forward a lot of catholic based doctrine.
