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.
