Most likely the Reformation where new Christian religions sprang up due to the abuses of the Catholic Church. Among these were Lutheran, Calvinist, Presbyterian, Anglican to name a few. They had their interpretation of the Bible and God’s teachings of salvation. The Catholic Church countered with the CounterReformation.
