Answer:

The perceived failure of God to answer prayers contributed to the decline of the Church's power & the eventual splintering of a unified Christian worldview. No matter how many Jews, or others, were killed, however, the plague raged on and God seemed deaf to the prayers and supplications of believers.

Step-by-step explanation:

. In Europe, the perceived failure of God to answer these prayers contributed to the decline of the medieval Church's power and the eventual splintering of a unified Christian worldview during the Protestant Reformation (1517-1648 CE). In the East, Islam remained intact, more or less, owing to its insistence on the plague as a gift which bestowed martyrdom on the victims and transported them instantly to paradise as well as the view of the disease as simply another trial to endure such as famine or flood.
