    John Calvin is known as Martin Luther’s successor and made a powerful impact on the fundamental doctrines of Protestantism. He was born in Noyon, Picardy, France on July 10, 1509.

    The Protestant Reformation was a religious movement that sought to reform the Catholic Church. This led to the creation of the new Protestant Church.

Key figures such as Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin influenced the Protestant Reformation, and although it was unsuccessful, the Catholic Church responded with the Council of Trent.…
