I was interested by the mention of a "counter-reformation" in the story and increase in sermons and homilies about death that led to some of these beliefs. It made me think of movements today like Q'Anon that are detached from traditional religion but involve some of the same characteristics -- and obviously some false, macabre beliefs.

It’s rather surprising you’ve never heard of it. That said, both sides in the Counter-Reformation held the same belief in the supernatural, they just differed on details.
