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.
