Question

Which of the following was a result of the Catholic Reformation A increased tolerance for religious minorities B the end of the Protestant religion C persecution of religious minorities D the spread of Calvinism

Answer 1

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Although many saw the Catholic Reformation as a good thing it was only good on paper. It indeed increased the persecution of religious minorities (mainly the Spanish) because many believed the white race was superior and that Catholic scripture supported such hatred. It was most likely during a time when Catholics were only able to be preached to, not do the preaching. So all of the information Catholics had about scripture or their god was coming directly from the priests and their interpretation of scripture. Priests were widely known to be quite corrupt during that time and they abused their power quite often. With that in mind, your answer is option C or "persecution of religious minorities."

I hope this helps.
