Lyceum & Book Club - Week 13 - Internal Fracturing of the Catholic Church

We want to look at three political events that went a great way toward weakening the Church (Catholic) in Europe from within and contributed to its fracturing during the Reformation. And I hope you can get a sense of how events in time can affect the outcome, not just decades or a century down the line, but continue to have a ripple effect centuries after.

We will hand out a time line for members to see overall sequence of happenings.
