Situation

The Reformation

reformation

'When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said 'Repent,' he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.'

These were the first notes in a document of 95 Theses found nailed to a church door, each detailing the corruption of the Catholic Church. Having suffered an extended period of weakness and internal struggle, the Catholic faith seems ripe for reform. Many echo the same sentiment as the author of the 95 Theses about the pureness of internal faith, and that only through God can a Christian can experience forgiveness. Others decry this work as heresy and straying disturbingly far from the Catholic beliefs.

With a wave of discussion sweeping Europe, it has become clear that this will irreversible alter the future of our continent.

The game's hint

During the The Reformation Situation, Lutheran Preachers and Calvinist Preachers will spread their new Religions throughout the Christian world.

Combat the Reformers:
Once you have the Jesuits Allowed selected, remove the Lutheran Preachers and Calvinist Preachers Buildings which will cost you Stability
Once enabled, construct and maintain Jesuit College to combat the spread of Lutheranism and Calvinism

Join the Reformers:
Once one of the new faiths has spread to your country, embrace it and convert to it with the Embrace the Reformation action
Use the Link to convert to a new Religion
