Thus not all Christians, not even all Protestants, saw Christendom divided into two camps, one signifying the good and the other representing the worst evils foreshadowed in the Bible. The Church had been in need of reform and even Catholics admitted this by launching their own reform efforts (the Counter Reformation). But, however needed the reforms may have been, the Protestant Reformation also represented schism, which was clearly condemned in the Bible (1 Cor. 12:25-7).
(177:2)
