Opis

"The Catholic Reformation" provides a comprehensive history of the Counter-Reformation in early modern Europe. Starting from the middle ages, Michael Mullett clearly traces the continuous transformation of the Catholic religion in its structures, bodies and doctrine. He discusses the gain in momentum of Catholic renewal from the time of the Council of Trent, and considers the profound effect of the Protestant Reformation in accelerating its renovation. The book also examines the Catholic Reformation's huge impact on the papacy, Church leaders and religious ritual and practice, as well as on the lives of ordinary people.
