Answer 1

The correct answer is C) religious conflict spreads across Europe, bringing an era of change and upheaval.

The statement that belongs to the final box is "religious conflict spreads across Europe, bringing an era of change and upheaval."

The Protestant Reformation that Martin Luther initiated in Europe impacted not only the Church but society as well. Luther believed that Church leaders were corrupt. When he wrote his "95 Theses" he thought that people go to heaven for the grace of the Lord, not for the priest that serve the Church. He questioned the authority of the Church and said that the Bible was the way, not the Church, he caused turmoil. After John Calvin developed Calvinism, religious conflict spreads across Europe, bringing an era of change and upheaval.
