  5. 5Many Protestants began to view the Catholic Church as not just as flawed or in error but actually an [blank_start]instrument of the devil[blank_end]. The Catholic Church initially viewed the various strands of Protestantism as the latest iteration of devil inspired heresy sent to challenge its authority and it used its usual weapon against heresy, [blank_start]the Inquisition[blank_end], to deal with it. However, the rise of Protestantism triggered a reform movement within the Catholic Church to try to eliminate many of the criticisms made by Protestant reformers by launching the [blank_start]Counter Reformation[blank_end], although the different strands of Christianity remained very different in terms of their teaching on key ideas. Wars were fought between Catholic and Protestant powers in what seemed to be about nothing less than battles for the soul of Europe. The Thirty Years War between [blank_start]1618[blank_end] and [blank_start]1648[blank_end] was just one of many conflicts both domestic and between states triggered by the religious divisions caused by the Reformation.

Luther and [blank_start]Calvin[blank_end] stressed the devil's presence in the world and Luther saw his [blank_start]whole life[blank_end] as a struggle against Satan.

  10. 10The Reformation bred a determination to create a [blank_start]godly[blank_end] state. There was a considerable amount of legislation against [blank_start]moral[blank_end] offences, with sodomy, fornication, prostitution and adultery all coming under attack, as did witchcraft. Catholics persecuted witches to [blank_start]purify[blank_end] their society and show themselves as [blank_start]defenders[blank_end] of Christianity.
