Reformation

Different modes of authority and models of governance have existed in the Catholic Church's history, often in response to the need for church reform.

History shows that authority in the church has taken many forms.

As a movement directed at unity and uniformity (Henry’s vision), the English Reformation was a high-stakes failure.

On Oct. 31 Lutherans and Catholics gathered at the cathedral to jointly commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

“We don’t have that full communion yet but we definitely are on the way.”
