Confessional Corner: Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation

As we continue our survey of the history surrounding the Lutheran Reformation, we are reminded that the Roman Church is not sitting by idly as Luther and everyone else runs around making changes. The Roman Church had been in flux for more than a century before Luther posted the 95 Theses. In this month's episode, we look to what the Roman Church is doing from the Council of Constance (1414-1418) up until the Council of Trent (1545-1563). Here, we will come across Jon Hus, John Wyckliffe, and Ignatius of Loyola.
