Church Comparison For this spiritual growth project, I attended three fairly different Churches. For the first, I attended CCF, which is a non-denominational evangelical Church. The second was First Presbyterian Church of Siloam Springs, a Presbyterian Church USA member. Finally, I went to St. Mary’s Catholic Church, which is under the Diocese of Little Rock, which in turn reports to Rome. Growing up, I have been a part of several Churches, so I really did not have any expectations of what any…

The deadly Black Plague of the 14th century and inability of the Church to offer a solution for it strongly undermined the Church’s power and its credibility. One of events, however, that gave foundation to the Reformation was the Renaissance…
Catholicism was the strongest force of power and politics in the 1400’s . While the church had divine power over Europe it also abused its rule by monetizing faith and spreading it to the people. This urged for change and reformation through the religion.
