The Reformation leveled criticism at cultural images, which sometimes led to iconoclasm. While Calvinism drew on the Old Testament's aniconism, Counter-Reformatory Catholicism clung to iconodulism. In church music, various forms of worship led to the mass, the chorale, and the psalter, while literature was frequently called into the service of confessional propaganda.
