1 The Reformation Division of the Roman Catholic Church
original intent was “reform” Antecedents Rise of the nation-state Spain joins France & England Renaissance humanism Change in politics Machiavelli Acquisition, maintenance, & expansion of power is key to order in society No guiding moral principle for ruler - no church! → saw himself as realistic

2 The Reformation Economic changes
New powerful commercial empires → Venice, Hanseatic League, Italian city-states New class structure Decline of first & second estate & rise of third estate Printing Press Johannes Gutenberg Encourages scholarly research, attainment of knowledge, spread of ideas → encourage everyone to read - DIFFICULT to overstate its significance

3 The Reformation Corruption of the Church Criticisms include :
- Popes too worldly – warrior-popes - Church was interested in money, not saving souls - Priests were spiritually and morally misbehaving - Wanted priests to emphasize personal faith & spirituality - Salvation becoming mechanical; relics & indulgences The Great Schism ( ) Struggle between Pope Boniface VIII & Philip IV (France) Babylonian Captivity ( ) 3 popes at same time! Papacy loses temporal power & moral prestige

4 The Reformation John Wycliffe & Jan Hus Criticized the clergy (Papacy)
emphasized lay interpretation of Bible (vernacular) & de-emphasized good works Hus burned in 1415 for heresy, Wycliffe exhumed and then burned! Encouraged people to read Bible for themselves!!! – did not need priests or pope!!

5 Martin Luther ( ) Martin Luther - Wittenberg Catholic doctrine emphasized faith & good works Luther believed humans were too weak to do enough → people were saved by their faith alone - Justification by Faith Bible was the chief guide to salvation then! Angry at sales of indulgences (lessening penalty for sin; reduce purgatory time) → Johann Tetzel “As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs.”

6 Martin Luther Oct → 95 Theses tacked on door of church of Wittenberg Indictment of abuses of sale of indulgences Copies translated from Latin into the vernacular and distributed Sought to reform church By 1520 Luther moved to break with the church Called on German princes to overthrow papal authority in Germany January 1521 → Luther excommunicated

7 Martin Luther Diet of Worms
“Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen.”

8 Martin Luther Elector of Saxony Frederick protected Luther
Convinced other German princes and they took control of churches throughout Germany Protestant Reformation → Revolution Charles V (HRE) took too long to suppress German states Lutheranism became entrenched by unable to defeat Lutheran princes Peace of Ausburg (1555) → German states were free to select their religion (Catholicism or Lutheranism)

9 John Calvin ( ) - B. in France (Catholic) but fled to Switzerland after conversion to Protestantism Institutes of the Christian Religion → becomes main source of Protestant ideas Accepted Luther’s Justification by Faith but placed more emphasis on God’s powerful nature Predestination - God determined the “saved” (elect) & “damned” at the beginning No one knew who was saved or damned

10 John Calvin You would get an idea based on behavior
Made religion dynamic and activist Calvin takes control of Geneva and makes it the center of Protestantism in Europe Puritans

11 The English Reformation
Rooted in politics, not religion King Henry VIII (Defender of the Faith) wanted to divorce wife #1 - Katherine of Aragon (no male heir) - daughter Mary I Wanted to marry Anne Boleyn (daughter Elizabeth I) Charles V (HRE & king of Spain) - Katherine’s nephew - told pope that if he granted annulment, he would sack Rome

12 The English Reformation
Impatient, Henry divorced Katherine through thru archbishop of Canterbury Act of Supremacy → king was the Supreme Head of the church in England – Anglican Church Third wife - Jane Seymour - has son - Edward VI - becomes king and England remains Protestant Dies young and sickly Mary I tries to return England to Catholicism (Bloody Mary) Elizabeth returns England to Protestantism Division was over a divorce!!! - Break from Rome, but kept many of the tenets of Catholicism

13 The Catholic (Counter) Reformation
Jesuits (Yay!!) Founded by Ignatius of Loyola - Society of Jesus Obedience to the Pope Strict hierarchy for society Fight for God Use of education Restores Catholicism to many parts of Europe Also spread faith outside of Europe - New World and Asia - Faith was to be spread by preaching, spiritual exercises, charity and education in Christianity - Restored some of the lost prestige of church

14 The Catholic (Counter) Reformation
Reformed Church & Council of Trent - Recognized corruption was responsible for much of church’s problems Council of Trent - Reaffirmed teaching of Catholic Church (Protestantism is bad) - Only the Church could interpret scripture - Faith and good works were necessary for salvation - Sale of indulgences were prohibited - Unified doctrine → sacraments refined - Revised Bible DID NOT stop Protestantism but did begin new militant phase for Catholic Church
