reformas religiosas

Reformas religiosas refer to movements during the 16th century that aimed to change or challenge the practices and authority of the Catholic Church. Led by figures like Martin Luther and John Calvin, these reforms sought to address issues like corruption, selling of indulgences, and theological differences. The result was the creation of Protestant churches and a significant shift in Christian beliefs and practices in Europe. These reforms had profound social, political, and cultural impacts, leading to religious diversity and conflicts that shaped modern Western society.
