Comparing the Beliefs of Catholics and Protestants

Reformation: Comparing the Beliefs of Catholics and Protestants

This simple worksheet includes a one page reading that compares the basic beliefs of Roman Catholics and Protestants in terms of purgatory, communion, salvation etc. Students then complete a conversation between a Protestant monk and Roman Catholic in which the two discuss their beliefs.

This is an excellent activity for students to understand the basic differences for what many students today see as all Christians. I use this activity while covering the Protestant Reformation and Martin Luther's views. Since students are free to interpret their own answers for each, an answer key is not included. However, each answer can be obtained easily from the reading.

An editable Google Doc version of the activity is now included with the download!

It can also therefore be downloaded as part of this excellent Protestant Revolution Pop Up Notes & Lesson Plan.

Both of these resources can also be had at a steep discount as part of this wonderful Renaissance and Reformation Unit Bundle!
