I am in the same boat as you regarding _my_ favourite "prophecy"
novel. It postulates that the Reformation never occured and the

"Still" ruled by the Catholic Church?
Even before the Reformation the Catholic Church didn't rule the
world!
Oooh, guilty of religionism 8-)
The Christian world.
Still wrong.
"Most of western Europe, most of the time."
Where else was Christian, before the Reformation?
Everywhere that was Orthodox.
I thought the Orthodox church broke away durung the reformation. Will
have to check my history....
Anyway, it's a good novella. Just wish I could remember the title.

Well, technically, the Anglican's are an Orthodox Church and they broke
away during the Reformation. But as has been noted, the Great Schism
happened a lot earlier.
While the Anglican's claim to be Protestant, they broke away over the
Supremacy of the Pope, not over Doctrine (Anglican Doctrine is
essentially Catholic, as is Orthodox Doctrine) so they are closer to
Orthodox than the other Protestant demoninations which all have notable
doctrinal differences with Catholic/Orthodox Doctrine.
