Description

In the Imperial Diets of the Protestant Reformation period, Catholic and Protestant factions stood in opposition to each other. Both sides claimed to represent Christian truth. For the Holy Roman Empire to maintain any capacity for action, people had to develop a way of speaking that allowed for communication between representatives of all faiths – a high-wire act at the intersection between political considerations and religious self-conception.
