The Reformation Chapter 17 section 3 and 4
2
Causes of the Reformation
Reformation: A movement to reform the Christian Church, that resulted in the creation of new Protestant Churches. What caused the Reformation? The Renaissance emphasized the secular world. Powerful monarchs challenged Church power Merchants did not like paying tithes to Rome Poorly educated priests, were not teaching well Critics writings were made available. (Huss, Wycliffe, Erasmus, and More)
3
Martin Luther and his Challenge
Martin Luther: credited with starting the Reformation Originally educated as a lawyer Thunderstorm and conversion Concerned about “doing enough” to get into Heaven Read Bible like a contract Can’t find support for indulgences, or Pope’s authority Church brushes him off In 1517 he publishes his 95 Theses. 95 statements criticizing the church. Posting them marks the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.

How did the Church react?
Core Beliefs of Luther Faith alone gets you to Heaven, not “good works.” Church teachings need to be from the Bible No need for priests (or Pope) to interpret the Bible How did the Church react? Ignored him at first Threatened him with Excommunication 1521 Forced the Holy Roman Emperor (Charles V) to hold the Diet of Worms and put Luther on trial Luther rescued by the Duke of Saxony. Now the Reformation is religious AND political! Charles V
5
By 1522, Luther’s followers were called Lutherans.
Peasants used the Reformation as a chance to get political freedom and rebelled. Luther was against this Princes killed 100,000 peasants German Princes sided with the Church or Luther, creating a civil war inside the Holy Roman Empire. Non Catholic princes were referred to as Protestants. In 1555 Charles V signed a peace treaty with protestants, called the Peace of Augsburg. Princes can be Lutheran or Catholic, they just have to remain part of the empire.
