One of my favorite historical religious events is the #Beeldenstorm aka the #IconoclasticFury.
After the #printingpress allowed mass distribution of the #Bible in common language, #tracts and religious #polemics became common. In the mid #16thCentury #Protestants rose up against all the pervasive #Catholic #idolatry and church wealth. They stormed churches throughout the #HolyRomanEmpire, tearing down idols.
