Title: The religious freedom and the religious tolerance in Western Europe (1532-1685)

Abstract: By comparing the political and religious relations between Transylvania and Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, it can be emphasized and demonstrated that Transylvania was an island of religious peace in a Europe of religious intolerance. Between 1568 and 1690, culture and religious life in the Principality of Transylvania flourished in the spirit of tolerance. With the enactment of freedom of religion, the Principality of Transylvania became one of the most enlightened states in 16th-century Europe. Western Europe at the beginning of the 16th century did not know any forms of religious tolerance. The Roman Catholic Church of the time classified all theological and religious views that differed from its own as heresy, and as a sin against God, punishing followers with death.
