Episode Details

we're back! the series on Heresies and the Reformation continues as we discuss the separate, yet simultaneous Counter-Reformation efforts that followed the Peace of Augsburg in 1555. Then we get to the Thirty Years War, a brutal conflict which had the side effect of killing public religion as a uniting concept and, really, killing God as it was understood up to that point. Then we answer a question about whether Protestants or Catholics caused Capitalism, someone is going to get blamed for this mess! enjoy!
