Answer
In 1598, Ferdinand began to regulate religious issues. This was a time when the Protestant Reformation was gaining popularity and Ferdinand was trying to keep his empire Catholic. He did this by passing laws that restricted what Protestants could do and by making it difficult for them to practice their religion. He also appointed Catholic bishops to oversee the church in his empire.
