Seems like the article goes off on the tired meme about Latin rather than actually talk about the reformation, but from a historical perspective it was a fascinating period (and as I'm sure most of us know it's completely shallow to discussing "the reformation" as a discrete event).

The sociopolitical reshaping of Europe as a result and the effect on government and governance, the resulting warfare (which was often a continuation of previous warfare), and the sometimes abrupt shift in national interests in numerous countries is a topic of endless fascination from so many angles. The process as it occurred in Scotland is of particular interest, IMHO.

It still openly declares itself a Pagan Nation.

And out of such morass, eventually, brave men and women from the American colonies in 1776 declared their independence from the King of England. And the Pope had nothing to do with it.
