the Continental Reformation,
the English Reformation,
and the Counter-Reformation.
The Continental Reformation destroyed the existing Church
and set up a new society in its place.
The English Reformation made the national church independent of Rome and gave the Crown the power to make reforms.
The Counter-Reformation cleansed and strengthened the Papacy
and by the power of the Pope removed practical abuses
but retained and carried further the doctrinal developments against which the Reformers had protested."
CLAUDE BEAUFORT MOSS
shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame,
by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
Daniel 11:33
