2. Thanks. The punctuation errors drove me a bit batty, however...

3. Very interesting.

This reminds me of an argument Daniel Pickering Walker made, though I don't know if it's still considered valid nowadays:
He postulated that the protestant revolution was caused in response to the church and the population moving away from the classic pious church and to a more laissez-faire church. The Protestants didn't want a reform to something new: They wanted a return to the good old times of simplicity.

4. I didn't know about that. But I did know about the Plague thing...

I learned about it when I was doing my art history research.
