Martin Luther

How was Martin Luther’s version of Christianity different from the Catholic Church?

THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION The balance: The Church v. the Bible MARTIN LUTHER (1483-1546) Revised Christian doctrine clergy no different than rest rejected belief in purgatory reduced 7 sacraments to 2: baptism & communion called for end of monasteries Bible to be written in the vernacular Faith = Salvation The balance: The Church v. the Bible Uvm.edu

Why do you think the German princes supported Martin Luther? Legal Disclaimer: The prince shown is not actual size and is not necessarily German

Lutheranism Dominant in Northern Germany (HRE) Dominant in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland) Not a minority anywhere

Martin Luther on the peasant rebellions of 1525 "They should be knocked to pieces, strangled and stabbed, secretly and openly, by everybody who can do it, just as one must kill a mad dog!"

Who resisted efforts of conversion? …The Jews. Read the documents and answer the following questions: According to Luther, why didn’t the Jews convert to Christianity under the Catholic banner? How do you account for the very different tones in the two documents- that are BOTH written by Martin Luther?

Do you think Martin Luther could have been as successful without the printing press?

John Calvin

Calvinism (1536) – NOT a majority anywhere BUT a minority in many places Calvin fled France in 1536, went to Switzerland Published Institutes of the Christian Religion Faith alone to achieve salvation Predestination The Consistory was established to oversee moral life/punish sinners

Calvinist Sins Dancing Singing obscene songs Drunkenness Swearing Playing cards Wearing flashy clothes Idleness Gossiping Q: Why do you think Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which resulted in the expulsion of the (Calvinist) Huguenots, proved to be a big mistake?

Summary: How did the Protestant Reformation affect the Roman Catholic Church? How do you think the Church will react??

Differences between Church (Catholics) and Protestants denied the power of the pope and church ceremonies Believed that faith in God’s mercy gave salvation Accepted only the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Communion) Encouraged individual interpretation of the Bible

The Counter-Reformation Council of Trent – 1543-1563 - addresses corruption – bans indulgences Reaffirms and clearly defines Church doctrine (need for ceremonies, need Church for Grace, action + faith = salvation) New Religious Orders (Jesuits – Society of Jesus) – Ignatius Loyola Example of salvation by good deeds Monks – best educated, found colleges, argue with Protestants over doctrine, new missionaries (promote Catholicism)
