  In the long 18th century described as the period of “peaceful Re-Catholicization” or
  “Catholic Restoration” in the writings about the ecclesiastical history of different
  congregations, the Roman Catholic Church used every means to push Protestants into
  the background and to render their lives impossible. As a result of intensified ReCatholicization, diverse means were employed to confront the communities and
  individuals, from the occupation of churches or schools and collective punishments,
  through the public humiliation and terrorization of individuals, to bloody torture and the
  annihilation of their livelihood. The partly violent spreading of Catholicism resulted in
  many controversial cases in the Carpathian Basin, which were reported on many
  publications in Western Europe. The examination of the early printed books in the
  Lutheran collection of books in Halle (Franckesche Stiftung) has brought numerous
  relevant texts from a Hungarian perspective to the surface, which allow studying the
  danger-fraught life circumstances of Protestants in the Carpathian Basin in the 18th
  century through the eyes of an external observer.
