The Renaissance's emphasis on humanism and critical thinking inspired scholars to question traditional religious beliefs and practices. This intellectual environment laid the foundation for the Protestant Reformation to challenge the authority of the Catholic Church and promote individual interpretation of scripture. The Renaissance also led to the printing press, which helped spread Reformation ideas across Europe.

Yes, Catholics believe that the Bible is true. They consider it to be the inspired and infallible Word of God which contains the teachings that God has revealed to humanity. However, they interpret the Bible within the context of Sacred Tradition and the teachings of the Church.
The Catholic victory in Spain, alongside the European Reformation, significantly influenced the religious landscape of North America. Spanish colonization led to the establishment of Catholic missions and settlements, particularly in the Southwest and California, promoting Catholicism among Indigenous peoples. Meanwhile, the Protestant Reformation inspired English colonization efforts, resulting in the establishment of Puritan and other Protestant communities in New England. This dual religious heritage contributed to North America's diverse religious identity and shaped its sociopolitical development.
The resistance against oppressive monarchies and the ideas of the Protestant Reformation contributed to the Enlightenment by promoting individualism, skepticism of authority, and the value of reason and inquiry. These movements inspired thinkers like Voltaire, Rousseau, and Locke to challenge traditional beliefs and structures, leading to the development of Enlightenment ideals such as freedom, equality, and democracy.
St. Francis of Assisi lived in the 12th-13th century, prior to the Counter Reformation which began in the 16th century. However, his emphasis on simplicity, poverty, and care for the poor inspired other religious figures and movements, including those that emerged during the Counter Reformation. His teachings influenced a renewed focus on piety and humility among Catholics during this period.

Until 1517, there were only two branches of Christianity; the Roman Catholic Church, which had the Pope as its head, and the Eastern Catholic Church, also known as the Orthodox Catholic Church, which was led by the Patriarch of Constantinople (later called Istanbul). If you were Christian, you were Catholic. In 1517, a Catholic Monk named Martin Luther nailed a list of 95 things he found wrong with the Church on the door of his parish church in Wittenburg, Germany (although lately there has been some question whether or not he actually and literally Nailed them). These were the 95 Thesis that were the basis of the Protestant Reformation. The "Protestant Reformation" was so called because Martin Luther, and the people who followed him, Protested the injustice and downright Blasphemy that they saw in the Catholic Church. There were all sorts of practices of the Church with which they disagreed, but the two Basic ideas that inspired the Protestant Reformation were (1) the idea that Every person had personal access to God, and had no need of a Priest to mediate with God for him/her, and (2) the premise that Faith alone was sufficient for Salvation. The Catholic Church held, and still does, that a combination of Faith and Service (works) was necessary. The churches that carried on these beliefs are called Protestant, and the people who attend are known as Protestants.
