tense
By the mid-1500s Europe was sharply divided by the Reformation and the Catholic Counter‑Reformation. There were armed conflicts (e.g., the Schmalkaldic War), religious persecution, political rivalry, and the Council of Trent (1545–1563) hardening Catholic doctrine — all signs of a tense, often violent relationship rather than reconciliation or peaceful development.
