Defined through centralisation, territorialisation, and bureaucratisation

Counter-reformation
Originates in 1770s as a term to describe the consolidation of the HRE in legal history. Grew in use in C19, reflecting a growth in papal power, but never beloved by Catholic scholars
Confessional age
Term championed by W. Reinhard, 1977, rejecting progressive/reactionary framework some historians try to fit Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Calvinism into (eg. Weber on Protestantism and modernity)
