The
Crusades
In 11th Century A.D. The Christian power of Western Europe organized military
expeditions called (The Crusades) against Muslim Powers in order to take or
maintain control over the Holy City of Jerusalem and the places associated
with the early life of the Messiah Jesus. The first crusade was called "People's Crusade" (1095 A.D.). The Crusader
established a group of four states to act like satellites for Europe (City
of Edessa, Principality of Antioch, Country of Tripolis and the Kingdom of
Jerusalem).

The Reformation
According
to history, Martin Luther, a German monk, and John Calvin, leaders who spearheaded
the break of Catholicism. This was called The Reformation. Out of the reformation movements, came Protestantism, which represented looser
religious practices and less religious discipline. In 1520 A.D., Martin Luther was excommunicated, from the Catholic Church by
Pope Leo, X. Catholicism controlled the church and the state. In other words,
it controlled the establishment of the country where it had jurisdiction.
So Protestantism
sprang from Catholicism in the 16th century (around 1520 A.D.) By heresy (disbelief).
Catholicism is the mother of all Christendom and, all Christian faiths and
denominations, as it exists today.
