 Instructions:

With the advent of the printing press, the number and length of theological works increased greatly in the Reformation. This means it can be difficult to narrow down the main issues that are driving the debates and divisions. However, in the midst of all the various works, we are fortunate to have two accessible letters by a Catholic Bishop (Jacopo Sadoleto) and an early reformer (John Calvin) related that distill the key issues. Geneva, a French-speaking Swiss city, turned towards the Reformation and was strongly influenced by Calvin. However, they eventually encouraged Calvin to leave and Sadoleto wrote a letter to try to convince them to return to Catholicism. The Genevans actually asked Calvin to give a reply. Our focus will be these two letters that highlight what the two sides see as most important to support and defend their positions. Jacopo Sadoleto, "Letter to the Genevans" and John Calvin, "Reply to Sadoleto" in John Calvin & Jacopo Sadoleto: A Reformation Debate (John C. Olin, ed.; Grand Rapids: Baker, 1976).

It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that ...
