      He certainly destroyed a lot of the local saints' cults and other cultural texture of the faith and imo Christendom has longed desperately ever since for something like it, it's basically the driver of both fundamentalism and orientalism imo

      You can say a lot of potentially negative things about the future Catholic Church, like the aggressively colonizing attitude of the Jesuits, were fueled by the Counter-Reformation But it's not like the Church before then was all that great
