As a fellow catholic, christian I can say a lot has changed in the first 500 years. -There is less killing people for it,but there are still victims in this world. -People can either be serious or not serious about the religion -The Pope's have gotten better over these centuries and are more serious. -There are many religions based off of this one actual religion. -People have been persecuted for their faith, but in a less murderous way. -We have the ability to start fighting for what we believe in (as in our faith).
