No, the Protestant Reformation occurred before the Catholic Reformation. The Protestant Reformation began in the early 16th century, with Martin Luther's 95 Theses in 1517 marking a significant moment.

In "A Retrieved Reformation," reformation refers to a significant change or improvement in a person's behavior or character, particularly in the case of Jimmy Valentine who transforms from being a skilled safecracker to an honest and law-abiding citizen.

Two differences between the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation are their goals: the Reformation aimed to reform the Catholic Church and break away from it, while the Counter-Reformation sought to reform the Catholic Church from within. Similarly, the Reformation focused on individual interpretation of scripture, while the Counter-Reformation emphasized the authority of the Pope and Church teachings. One similarity is that both movements led to significant changes in the practice and theology of Christianity. Another similarity is that both the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation spurred intellectual and cultural developments in Europe.

Ultimately, the Reformation laid the groundwork for modern democratic ideals and contributed to the development of secular governance.
The Reformation did not lead to the growth of feudalism; in fact, it occurred during the decline of the feudal system. The Reformation was a religious movement in the 16th century that challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and led to significant social and political changes in Europe, but it did not directly impact the feudal system.
