He placed a new emphasis on the all- powerful nature of God–what Calvin called the “power, grace, and glory of God.” This led him to the important idea of predestination, which meant that God in an had determined in advance who would be saved (the elect) and who would be damned (the reprobate). http://www.historyguide.org/images/calvin.jpg

17. The Anabaptists and Effects on the Role of Women (cont.) Based on New Testament accounts of early Christianity, Anabaptists considered all believers equal. Any member of the community could be a minister because all Christians were considered priests. Women were often excluded from the ministry, however.

18. Anabaptists believed in the complete separation of church and state. Government was not to even have political authority over real Christians. Anabaptists would not hold office or bear arms. They took literally the biblical commandment to not kill. Their political and religious beliefs caused Anabaptists to be branded dangerous radicals.

28. The Catholic Reformation 1.In addition to attempts to stop the spread of Protestantism, the Catholic Church looked at itself and enacted internal reforms. This reforming spirit culminated with the Council of Trent that lasted on and off from 1545-1563. In the town of Trent, Catholic officials met to consider what changes were necessary. The Council cracked down on simony, pluralism and absenteeism. It also helped increase the level of education of the clergy. While Trent outlawed the selling of indulgences, the practice of granting indulgences continued. However, in the area of religious doctrine, there were no changes made. The Council confirmed the previous practices.

29. The Catholic Reformation 2. Another arm of the internal reform movement was an order known as the Society of Jesus. Founded by Ignatius of Loyola, the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, sought to help Catholics rediscover their faith. Ignatius wrote a handbook, The Spiritual Exercises, to help Catholics study and practice Catholicism. The ranks of the Jesuits grew quickly and they spread out all over the world to convert and preach a disciplined Catholic morality. Ultimately, the efforts of these loyal shock troops paid off, as many Protestants reconverted to Catholicism.

30. Reviewing Key Facts History How did Ignatius of Loyola help to reform Catholicism? He helped reform Catholicism by establishing the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, a religious order that took a special vow of absolute obedience to the pope and used education to spread their messages, restoring Catholicism to parts of Germany and eastern Europe and spreading it to other parts of the world.
