Martin Luther helped shape the Protestant Reformation by

Martin Luther believed that salvation was achieved through

• the authority of priests.
• the sacraments.

Anabaptists believed that

• baptism was a Catholic ritual that Protestants should reject.
• babies should be baptized immediately after birth.
• infant baptism should be followed by an adult baptism.
• infants were too young to be baptized.

King Henry VIII hoped that by breaking with the Catholic Church he would

• end papal authority in England.
• stop the spread of Protestantism.
• bring the teachings of Calvin to England.
• free Church worship from Catholic rituals.

One result of the Protestant Reformation was

• the end of papal authority throughout Europe.
• a long period of conflict between Protestant and Catholic countries.
• the weakening of the Inquisition.
• Protestant dominance of southern Europe.

The Council of Trent is important because it

• brokered a peace between Protestants and Catholics in Europe.
• began the process of change that became the Catholic Reformation.
• reinforced the idea that people could still reach salvation through Protestantism.
• established the Catholic doctrine that the Bible was the only source of religious truth.

Witch hunts were most deadly in the German states, Switzerland, and France because

• those countries had higher populations of social outcasts.
• Protestants had a special fear of magic, which they believed came from the devil.
• those countries had the most religious conflicts.
