1 The Reformation Chapter 1 Section 3

2 Causes Renaissance emphasis on secular life and individuality challenged Roman Catholic Church Some rulers challenged Churches political power Wealthy merchants protested paying taxes to the church

3 Criticism Critics thought church leaders were corrupt
Many popes lived extravagantly rich lives Some popes had children Poor priests were often illiterate

4 Martin Luther Took stand against Johann Tetzel who sold indulgences (a pardon that released you from performing a penalty a priest imposed on you for your sins) p55 Luther wrote 95 Theses, or statements against churches wrong doings Luther’s actions caused the Reformation which led to Christian churches that were not Catholic

5 Luther’s Teachings People could win salvation by faith in God’s gift of forgiveness (Church taught that faith and good deeds led to salvation) p55 All Church teachings should be clearly based on the Bible—both Pope and Church teachings were false authorities All people of faith were equal—priests were not needed to interpret the Bible

6 Reaction Pope threatened Luther w/ excommunication unless Luther recanted (took back what he said) p56 Luther refused and was excommunicated Holy Roman Emperor Charles V conducts trial where Luther again refused to recant Charles declares Luther a heretic and outlaw—no one should help him (the Edict of Worms 1521) Frederic of Saxony hides and protects Luther Charles V allows local princes to decide religion of their area (Peace of Augsburg 1555)

7 Luther translates Bible into German
Followers of Luther start new church (Lutherans) German peasants apply ideas of Luther to politics and rebel. They want to abolish serfdom German princes put down rebellion harshly Luther does not support peasants. They are raiding monasteries, pillaging and burning p56 Christians who belong to non-Catholic churches become known as Protestants p56

8 England Henry VIII breaks with Catholic Church so he can remarry in hopes of having a male heir to his throne p the reformation parliament. Henry VIII gets Parliament to pass Act of Supremacy 1534 calling on people to take an oath recognizing his divorce and have him as head of England’s Church Henry’s heirs (male and female) rule England for over 60 years Religious battle between his Catholic and Protestant children Elizabeth I eventually established Church of England (Anglican Church ) as only legal church and with her as its leader Elizabeth makes concessions to allow Catholics and Protestants to peacefully coexist – priest could marry, special robes. p60

12 Catholic Reformation Catholic Church saw need to repair itself

13 Council of Trent 1545-1563—Catholic bishops and Cardinals agree on important topics”
Church’s interpretation of Bible was final Faith and good works needed for salvation Bible and Church instruction were equal authorities for guiding Christian living Indulgences were valid expressions of faith Index of Forbidden Books was created to list books dangerous for Catholics to read and many were burned in bonfires across Europe
