Christianity in the 17th century
Christianity in the 17th century
showed both deep conflict and new tolerance. The
Age of Enlightenment
grew to challenge
Christianity
as a whole, generally elevated human
reason
above divine
revelation
, and down-graded religious authorities such as the
Papacy
based on it. Major conflicts with strong religious elements arose, particularly in
Central Europe
with the
Thirty Years' War
, and in
Northwestern Europe
with the
Wars of the Three Kingdoms
. Partly out of weariness with conflict, greater
religious tolerance
developed. In the
Protestant
world there was persecution of
Arminians
and religious
Independents
, such as early
Unitarians
,
Baptists
and
Quakers
. In the
Catholic
world, Rome attempted to fend off
Gallicanism
and
Conciliarism
, views which threatened the Papacy and structure of the church.
