The Counter-Reformation, initiated by the Catholic Church in response to the Protestant Reformation, led to significant changes in European society. It reinforced the power and influence of the Catholic Church, promoting religious uniformity through the establishment of the Jesuits and the Council of Trent, which clarified Catholic doctrine. Additionally, it spurred a wave of artistic expression, known as Baroque art, aimed at inspiring religious devotion. The movement also intensified religious conflicts, leading to wars and divisions that shaped national identities and political boundaries in Europe.
The period from the Council of Trent (1545-1563) to the end of the Thirty Years' War (1648) is often referred to as the "Catholic Reformation" or "Counter-Reformation." This era was marked by significant efforts within the Catholic Church to address issues raised by the Protestant Reformation, leading to substantial reforms in church practices, theology, and governance. The Thirty Years' War, a devastating conflict primarily in Central Europe, further shaped religious and political landscapes, culminating in the Peace of Westphalia, which established a new order based on state sovereignty and religious coexistence.
Terrycloth is credited to the French in the late 19th century, specifically around the 1890s. The fabric was initially developed for use in bathrobes and towels, characterized by its looped pile that enhances absorbency. While the exact individual behind its invention is not definitively known, the term "terry" is derived from the French word "tirer," meaning "to pull," referring to the loops that are pulled up during the weaving process.
