5 The Church in the Renaissance
The Problem of Heresy and Reform John Wyclif and Lollards Disgusted by clerical corruption No basis in scripture for papal claims to authority Advocated popes be stripped of property and power Urged the printing of the Bible in the vernacular so every Christian could read it John Hus and the Hussites Urged the elimination of worldliness and corruption of the clergy Burned at the stake (1415) Execution of Hus

6 The Church in the Renaissance
The Renaissance Papacy Julius II (1503 – 1513) “Warrior Pope”- personally led armies against his enemies in the Italian Wars Pious Christians appalled; viewed the role of the pope as a spiritual leader Patron of the Arts- Patron of Raphael and Michelangelo Leo X (1513 – 1521) Second son of Lorenzo de' Medici Executed foreign policy through his participation in alliances in the Italian Wars Patron of the arts and education Spendthrift- interest in art, literature, and personal luxury caused financial crisis Granted indulgences for those who donated to reconstruct St. Peter's Basilica Pope during publication of Martin Luther’s 95 Theses Succeeded by Giulio di Giuliano de' Medici, as Pope Clement VII (1523–34). Nepotism Appointed family members to often unearned positions to promote familial interests and gain loyal servants Portrait of Pope Julius II by Raphael Leo X's pet elephant, Hanno Raphael's Portrait of Leo X with cardinal Giulio de' Medici

7 Challenge Question #2 & #3
Describe the policies of the Renaissance Popes and what impact they had on the Catholic Church. Worldliness- preoccupied with secular interests such as politics and culture Caused loss of faith in the Catholic Church Why are Wyclif and Hus worth remembering in European History? *note- do not summarize what they did. I am looking for you to analyze what Semester 1 European History theme they exemplify. their reform movements exemplify people’s distrust in the Catholic Church

9 Challenge Question #4 How did music change from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance? It became more complex. Some secular tunes were also used.

10 Reformation Notes

11 Prelude to Reformation
Luther’s Reform Movement is not the 1st Christian Humanists Felt that Christianity was a simple religion that had become distorted Belief in the power of education Classical education could lead to a reform of the church and society Supported schools Arguing for printing the Bible in the Vernacular

12 Famous Christian Humanists
Desiderius Erasmus ( ) Most influential Christian Humanist Wanted reform within the Church Christianity should be a guiding philosophy of daily life rather than a system of practices stressed by the church (communion, pilgrimages, relics, etc) Wrote Education of a Christian Prince Encouraged moral behavior of leaders Wrote In Praise of Folly Humorous criticism of the of the corrupt practices of the church

13 Challenge Question #5 It is said that “Erasmus laid the egg that Luther later hatched.” What does that mean? Erasmus helped prepare the way for the Reformation Fun Fact: Though Erasmus wanted to reform the church, he eventually disapproved of Luther for destroying the unity of the church

14 Famous Christian Humanists
Thomas More Civic Humanist- believed in putting his learning at the service of the state Deeply spiritual, good friends with Erasmus Lord Chancellor of England under Henry VIII Utopia Idealistic life and institutions of Utopia (Greek for nowhere), imaginary island in the new world) Reflects concerns with social, economic and political problems of his day Utopia based on communal ownership- People worked 9 hours a day, regardless of occupation, and were rewarded according to their needs. Devoutly Religious Willingly gave up life to oppose England’s break with the Catholic Church over the divorce of Henry VIII

15 Challenge Question #6 What problems were occurring with the church before the Reformation? Loss of faith from Black Death and Western Schism See next page for Renaissance Issues

16 Church and Religion on the Eve of the Reformation
Church Corruption Failure of Renaissance Popes to provide spiritual leadership Nepotism Pluralism- church officials ignored duties and hired inept underlings who weren’t qualified to save money Sale of Indulgences (used to fund St. Peter’s Basilica) People buy these because they are searching for certainty of salvation since church officials aren’t doing their jobs Relics- Luther’s prince amassed 19,000 relics to which attached indulgences that could reduce time in purgatory by 2 million yrs - Clergy fails to Reform St. Peter's chains, a second-class relic Relic skull and reliquary of Saint Ives)
