During the Middle Ages is when religion had political power. During this time, it was undoubtedly the Catholic religion. It controlled life, set the rules for life, etc. During this time though, the religion became corrupt. People started making their own religion, protesting Catholicism. And thus, Protestantism was born. Major religions such as Anglican, Lutheran, and Calvinism came about.
