I've recently read"The Verge: Reformation, Renaissance, and Forty Years that Shook the World" and want to hear what all of you think the answer is, because I feel like the book was missing something in its thesis and I am not very sure what that is.

    There's a good book I'd recommend which seeks to answer this exact question called Escape from Rome. Read the blurb to get a very basic picture.
