Answer:

1. The Protestant Reformation started as an attempt to reform the Roman Catholic Church carried out by Western European Catholics who opposed what they perceived as false doctrines and ecclesiastic malpractice. Both issues were dealt with in an altogether different manner by the Roman Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation

2. Purgatory is the condition, process, or place of purification or temporary punishment in according to medieval Christian and Roman Catholic beliefs the souls of those who passed away in a state of grace are made ready for heaven. Indulgences were to allow for the remission of the severe penances of the really early Church and granted at the intercession of Christians awaiting martyrdom or at least imprisoned for the faith.

3. The main ideas were about having power and how leaders could seek to gain power and also how they could keep power. These ideas influenced European rulers and individuals around the globe by promoting this particular type of leadership and power seeking.
