by Elizabeth Lev, Sofia Institute Not long after Martin Luther’s defiance of the Church in 1517, dialogue between Protestants and Catholics broke down, brother turned against brother, and devastating religious wars erupted across Europe. Desperate to restore the peace and recover the unity of Faith, Catholic theologians clarified and reaffirmed Catholic doctrines, but turned as well to another form of evangelisation: the Arts. Convinced that to win over the unlettered, the best place to fight heresy was not in the […]
