I believe Christendom began to change simply due to the changing ideas and thoughts of the people of Europe during the time period. When people began to think in different ways provoked by the Renaissance, their opinions and ideals of what their religious faith should entail changed and evolved. To have simply one dominant religion would not be enough for an area, as people all have completely different values. As people began to alter their own faiths, Christendom began to branch apart, and form new religions that had been based on their origin with the Roman Catholic faith.
In terms of capitalism, I can honestly say that I don't really have any idea of what it is whatsoever. I feel like that is weird and it is something that I should know, but no one has ever told me what it is before. All I know about it is what the book said about it in our reading from last night - the fact that it caused growing competition in the markets, which caused the production of more quality goods. Other than that, I have no idea. But whenever I hear the term it sounds like it is being used in a negative connotation? That's all I got.
