While Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin were leading the charge for reform, the Roman Catholic Church was not sitting idly by.

Then, we close out the episode with a look at the overall significance of the Reformation.Website: www.westerncivpodcast.comBecome a Patron for ad-free versions of the show: www.patreon.com/westerncivpodcastSubscribe to the Premium Feed at: www.glow.fm/westernciv
