I invited you to chalkup.co go there and discuss the following prompts.

In what ways did the differences in Catholic and Protestant teachings explain the appeal of the different faiths to different people?

Which would have more appealed to you and why?  Are you willing to die for that?

Do you think the reformation is more Medieval or more Renaissance in its belief systems and the way that leaders handled those who disagreed with their teachings?

(A GOOD DISCUSSION WILL INVOLVE MULTIPLE RESPONSES TO EACH PROMPT AND A CONVERSATION AMONGST YOU AND YOUR CLASSMATES.  THIS MEANS YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND CHECK FOR REPLIES.)
