41
Reformation
  • The Modern Devotion
  • Also, known as the Brothers of the Common Life,
    were religious individuals that did not
    necessarily agree with the actions of the
    Catholic Church and sought to provide aid to the
    impoverished European community.
  • Martin Luther and Erasmus were both part of the
    Modern Devotion, which pushed a desire to have
    religious scriptures in the vernacular, or in the
    spoken language of an area.

42
Reformation
  • William of Ockham
  • A central religious figure in the medieval times,
    and in contrast to Thomas Aquinas, his major
    ideologies got his condemnation from the Catholic
    Church.
  • Ockham was an English medieval writer, setting
    the precedent for the denunciation of Catholic
    values by the English during the Reformation.
    Furthermore, Ockham was one of the first
    individuals that promoted a separation of state
    and religion, by having an emperor and Pope
    ruling and having equal power.

43
Reformation
  • John Wycliffe
  • A religious leader in the fourteenth century, who
    laid the foundations for Protestant Reformation,
    because of his challenge to the established quo,
    or the power of the Catholic Church. His
    followers were called the Lollards.
  • Wycliffe believed that the clergy needed to be
    less concern about their physical life and play a
    more important role in their religious life.
    Also, he believed personal merit was the basis to
    a true religious person and he was denounced of
    being a Donatist because he believed that the
    performance of religious sacraments depended on
    both the moral of the person and the performance

44
Reformation
  • Jan Huss
  • Jan Huss led the movement in Bohemia, which
    sought to reform the Catholic Church in Central
    Europe, although, it lacked a lot of controlling
    power, and a contemporary of Wycliffe.
  • He was against the established power of the
    Catholic Church he denounced the validity of
    some sacraments and the idea of
    transubstantiation, which would be extremely
    popular among Luther and Zwingli, two centuries
    later. Also, he supported the translation of the
    scriptures in the vernacular.

45
Reformation
  • Avginon Papacy
  • The split of the Catholic Church because of the
    influence of the French monarchy in the papacy,
    which weakened its hold on European society.
  • The Catholic Church began to lose strength
    because of its political manipulation of the
    countries and its economic desire to gain wealth.
    European countries denounced the Church for its
    inability to unite it. Britain restricted the
    flow of money that went to Rome, while the French
    were able to control how many and which cardinals
    it would sent to Rome.

46
Reformation
  • Great Schism
  • The Great Schism is the split of the church along
    the line of who was the ruling pope, at one point
    there were three popes ruling over the papacy.
    One was supported by the French, and another by
    the Church in Rome.
  • This separation demonstrated the weakness of the
    Church and how easily a political conflict could
    weaken its power over Europe. Also, it helped
    future reformers because it helped pin point
    problems within the Catholic Church.

47
Reformation
  • Concilliarism
  • The Concilliar movement in Europe wanted to
    reunify the papacy by which the cardinals called
    meetings to elect their pious leader.
    Concilliarism sought to regulate the power of the
    Pope by creating a council of cardinals. After
    the Council of Constance, the three existing
    popes were removed from power, and Pope Martin V
    was elected.
  • Concilliarism gave more freedom to the local
    churches and their secular governments.
    Therefore, monarchies began exercising more power
    over the church lands and began expanding their
    economic desires. This movement also allowed
    countries to leave the radar of the Church, and
    conquering their own economic and social
    aspirations

48
Reformation
  • Benefice System
  • The Benefice system gave priests money for
    guiding the laity and also provided money to the
    Church. By having multiple laities to tend, the
    priest gained more money, which was used for
    Church activities, such as the education of
    reformers, such as Martin Luther and John Calvin.
  • The benefice system funneled large sums of money
    into the Church and the clergy. However, during
    the Protestant Reformation, the benefice system
    would become one of Luthers main challenges to
    the Church and desire to reform it.

49
Reformation
  • Martin Luther
  • Luther became the largest challenger to
    Catholicism after his posting of the Ninety-Five
    thesis in 1517 in Germany. Luther sought to
    reform the Catholic Church after denouncing the
    sale of indulgences, the translation of religious
    scriptures in the vulgate, and the manipulation
    of the laity for economic desires.
  • Luther had a defining effect during the sixteenth
    century because of his reformist views of the
    Catholic Church. His views were used to form the
    new Christian sect called the Protestants, even
    though he did not want to separate from the
    Church. His three main views were justification
    by faith alone, attack on indulgences, and sola
    scriptura.

50
Reformation
  • Indulgences
  • People were able to buy off their sins if they
    could pay for them, which would allow them to
    avoid going to purgatory. The sale of indulgences
    funded the creation of St. Peters Basilica.
  • Indulgences became one of the most attacked
    ideologies of the Catholic Church. These sales
    manipulated the fear and social inability of
    Europeans to understand the economic needs of the
    Catholic Church. However, the sale of indulgences
    were not the main issue, it was that secular
    governments did not receive part of the wealth
    generated from the indulgences.

51
Reformation
  • Treasury of Merit
  • The Treasury of Merit was an infinite reliable
    source of good works, by which the pope could
    give to people and forgive their sins. From this
    treasury, there were the indulgences, which were
    sold to help people remove their own sins, but
    also of their deceased relatives.
  • The Treasury manipulated the social foundations
    of Europeans by creating this sense of fear of
    death and hell, which people would go to if they
    did not do their good works. This undermined the
    religious purpose of the Church and demonstrated
    its secular wants.

52
Reformation
  • John Tetzel
  • During the fifteenth and sixteenth century,
    Tetzel was a major proponent of the sale of
    indulgences. He was able to create this fear or
    stir action within the European populace.
  • The claims that Tetzel made about the damnation
    that people suffered because of their sins were
    completely denounced by Martin Luther and his
    followers. The sale of indulgences released major
    issues about the growing secularism of the
    Catholic Church.

53
Reformation
  • Charles V
  • Charles V was the King of Spain and the Spanish
    Holy Roman Emperor. He established the Habsburg
    dynasty over the Spanish and Austrian throne.
  • Charles V was the protector of Catholicism during
    the sixteenth century. However, he could not
    fight a war on three fronts. He waged war against
    the French and the Ottomans, while having to
    combat the growing power of Protestantism. His
    inability to fight their power allowed the
    Protestants to gain power and flourish throughout
    Europe.

54
Reformation
  • Diet Of Worms
  • After the Pope issued the Exsurge Domine,
    demanding that Luther withdraw his ideas, Luther
    was summoned before the Diet in Germany, where
    issues pertaining to the Holy Roman Empire were
    discussed.
  • Luthers condemnation at the Diet of Worms by
    Charles V demonstrated the slowly deteriorating
    power of the Church. Luthers excommunication did
    not really make a dent in the Protestant
    movement, and it did not stop Luther from
    proceeding with his challenge to Catholicism.

55
Reformation
  • Habsburg Dynasty
  • The Habsburg Dynasty were the ruling family of
    Spain, after the ascension of Spanish global
    power, Charles V was elected Holy Roman Emperor
    of the Germanic states.
  • The Habsburgs were extremely powerful during the
    fifteenth and sixteenth century however, the
    Reformation weakened their grip in Europe. Also,
    after Charles V and Philip II of Spain, Spain and
    Austria were controlled by two different leaders.
    The Holy Roman Emperor would be Austrian
    furthermore, he would have little power within
    the political sphere of Germany

56
Reformation
  • Peasants Revolt
  • In 1525, peasants in the Holy Roman Empire
    revolted against the secular and social lords
    that wanted to continue overtaxing them without
    the peasantrys consent. They were Christians,
    who were heavily influenced by Lutheran ideology.
  • The Peasants Revolt demonstrated that Luther was
    not about a social revolution throughout Europe,
    he only sought to reform the Catholic Church. He
    supported the lords and secular leaders, which
    squashed the revolt.

57
Reformation
  • Ulrich Zwingli
  • Zwingli led the reformation in the Swiss cantons,
    where the power of the Catholic Church was not
    extremely strong. Zwingli proposed a society
    where the religious and political aspect united
    to make a holier community.
  • Zwingli believed that anything that was not in
    the Bible should not be practiced therefore,
    some of the seven sacraments and the sale of
    indulgences should not be followed because the
    Bible does not include them.

58
Reformation
  • First and Second Disputations
  • The Disputations were religious and political
    meetings held in Zurich, where Zwinglis ideology
    was accepted as law. The disputations proved to
    help promote Zwinglis ideas throughout the town
    to the people.
  • The Disputations demonstrated the desire that
    people had to separate itself from the Catholic
    Church and its hierarchical supremacy.

59
Reformation
  • The Marburg Colloquy
  • In 1529, Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli met up
    in the castle of Philip of Hesse, who wanted to
    unite the two Protestant forces, which would
    further weaken the Catholic Church. However, the
    two were unable to agree over the issue of
    transubstantiation.
  • The Marburg Colloquy weakened the Protestant
    movement because the two major leaders could not
    agree on one issue. The issue separated them into
    separate political factions.

60
Reformation
  • Swiss Civil War
  • The civil war between the Protestant and Catholic
    forces in Switzerland. Zwingli was harshly hacked
    up during the battle for his Protestant faith.
  • The Civil War allowed each leader to pick the
    religion for their state. This demonstrated the
    inability of the Catholic Church to squash the
    religious quarrels within its laity.

61
Reformation
  • Anabaptists
  • The Anabaptists were radical Christians that did
    not follow Protestant or Catholic ideals.
    Instead, they believed that people should be
    baptized as adults, and they wanted to return to
    original Christian values, where secular values
    were not involved.
  • The Anabaptists represented a possible peasant
    and laity revolt for the people because they
    challenged the natural order of life, which was
    socially haunting. Although, they did not agree
    with the Protestants and Catholics, they were not
    necessarily ready to participate in giving the
    peasantry rights.

62
Reformation
  • John Calvin
  • John Calvin represented the most hard core of the
    Protestant reformers in Europe. He united the
    secular and religious ideologies, similar to
    Zwingli however, he made laws forbidding
    inappropriate conduct. He created a regimented
    society, where people followed only what was
    written in the Bible, not the ideas promoted by
    the Catholic Church.
  • Calvins separate society weakened the power of
    the Catholic Church because it demonstrated the
    ability of a community to thrive without a
    religious entity that misrepresented European
    values. Also, this served as a model for European
    monarchs, which sought to create their own
    societies without the overshadowing power of the
    Catholic Church.

63
Reformation
  • Predestination
  • Predestination is an ideology, which was promoted
    by John Calvin in the sixteenth century
    Protestant Reformation. It states that everyone
    is born either condemned to hell or saved and
    going to heaven. Also, the idea promotes an
    understanding and all-loving God, which can help
    lessen fear of going to heaven.
  • The main issue with predestination is that it
    undermines human free will. The idea that
    peoples lives are already determined and they
    can no way influence any change in it, squashes
    any possibility of free will

64
Reformation
  • Schmalkaldic League
  • 1530s, A powerful defensive alliance formed by
    German Protestant lords, in order to defend
    themselves against the forces of Charles V.
  • The League demonstrated how the Protestants could
    unite and raise resistance to Protestant values.

65
Reformation
  • Diet Of Worms
  • 1521, Charles V declares Martin Luther an outlaw
    his friends disguised and hid him at the
    instruction of Elector Frederick.
  • Declaring someone an outlaw or excommunicating
    someone had been a traditional way of punishing
    non-dangerous criminals however, it did not
    affect Luthers success against Catholicism.

66
Reformation
  • Peace of Augsburg
  • 1555 This act recognized that the ruler of a
    land would determine its religion (Cuius regio,
    eius religio). In addition Lutheranism was
    recognized as a legal form of Christianity.
  • The Peace of Augsburg created controversy within
    the German states because other groups, such as
    the Calvinists did not gain legal recognition.

67
Reformation
  • English Reformation
  • In the early 1520s English reformers met in
    Cambridge to discuss Lutheran writings smuggled
    into England by merchants and scholars Lollardy
    and humanism provided some of the native seeds
    for religious reform. What ultimately allowed
    England to be consumed by Protestantism were
    Henry VIIIs affairs.
  • A Protestant England was evitable as it was the
    kings fault. Henry had been the primary defender
    of the faith and turned his back on it because of
    his personal affairs.

68
Reformation
  • Submission of the Clergy
  • It placed canon law under royal control and
    thereby the clergy under royal jurisdiction.
  • This represents the on going conflict between
    church and state that has occurred all throughout
    history.

69
Reformation
  • Act of Succession
  • The act made Anne Boleyns children legitimate
    heirs to the throne.
  • Anne Boleyn gave birth to one of the most
    dominant figures in 16th century England
    Elizabeth I.

70
Reformation
  • Act of Supremacy
  • It declared Henry as the supreme head of the
    Church of England.
  • By instituting this act Henry broke his ties with
    the Roman Catholic Church. This was unprecedented
    and would a lasting influence on Europe.

71
Reformation
  • Ten Articles
  • In these articles Henry made mild concessions to
    Protestant doctrine.
  • Henry VIII remained religiously conservative his
    did not deliberately allow Protestantism to
    spread in England.

72
Reformation
  • Six Articles
  • These articles were passed as a response to the
    growing popularity of Protestantism.
  • This showed that Henry was reluctant to let
    Protestant views spread in England.

73
Reformation
  • Thomas Woolsey
  • He was the chief minister of King Henry VIII he
    helped to guide royal opposition of
    Protestantism.
  • Woolsey had been one of Henrys long time
    advisors and was dismissed in 529 because he
    failed to secure the annulment of Henrys
    marriage

74
Reformation
  • Thomas More
  • Like Woolsey, More led royal opposition against
    Protestant views. He was executed when he failed
    to recognized the Act of Succession and Act of
    supremacy.
  • This showed that Henry sought to establish a
    government of loyal followers and would not
    tolerate opposition.

75
Reformation
  • Act of Uniformity
  • The first act imposed Thomas Cranmers Book of
    Common Prayer on all English churches. The second
    imposed a revised version of Cranmers book on
    all English churches.
  • Cranmer was a protestant sympathizer so one would
    expect his book on common prayer to introduce
    Protestantism to the English Church.

76
Reformation
  • Catherine of Aragon
  • Catherine was the wife of Henry VIII and aunt of
    Charles V. Her turbulent marriage with Henry VIII
    prompted the separation from the Catholic Church.
  • Catherine and Henry separated, which led to the
    creation of the English Anglican country, which
    led it to become an extremely powerful country.

77
Reformation
  • Pope Julius II
  • Julius II issued a special dispensation that
    annulled Henrys marriage with Catherine
    therefore allowing him to marry Anne Boleyn.
  • Julius II was a disgrace to the position of the
    pope as he was known as the warrior pope.

78
Reformation
  • Thomas Cranmer
  • Cranmer was a Protestant sympathizer that had
    been an adviser of Henry VIII and wrote the Book
    of Common Prayer.
  • Cranmer was one of those responsible for
    introducing Protestantism into England. He in
    addition helped Henry VIII annul his marriage
    with Catherine.

79
Reformation
  • Thomas Cromwell
  • Cromwell, similar to Cromwell, was a close
    adviser to Henry VIII, which allowed him to gain
    prominence within his country.
  • He influenced Henry in issuing the Ten Articles
    that allowed sparks of Protestantism into the
    English religious system.

80
Reformation
  • Reformation Parliament
  • 1529, Parliament convened for what would be a
    seven-year session of legislation. This
    established a precedent of the monarchy having to
    convene with parliament in order to make
    fundamental changes in religion.
  • The precedent established by the actions of this
    parliament would later be broken by future
    monarchs

81
Reformation
  • Anne Boleyn
  • Henry VIII annulled his marriage with Catherine
    to marry Anne Boleyn she gave birth to Elizabeth
    I. In 1536 she was executed for alleged treason
    and adultery.
  • She was one of the several wives that Henry had
    during his lifetime.

82
Reformation
  • Edward VI
  • Henry broke the ice for Protestantism in England
    while Edward VI, his son, completed what is now
    known as the English reformation.
  • Edward allowed protestant views to reach a level
    of popularity never before seen in England.

83
Reformation
  • Book of Common Prayer
  • It was written by Thomas Cranmer and instituted
    by Edward VI, it introduced moderate protestant
    doctrine.
  • It represented a radical change in the English
    Church as there had never been such a change in
    the English Church.

84
Reformation
  • Act of Uniformity

85
Reformation
  • Ignatius Loyola
  • A dominant figure in the Counter-Reformation era,
    he was the founder of a society known as the
    Jesuits in the 1930s, they sought to go out and
    convert people to Catholicism.
  • The efforts of the Jesuits helped to win many
    Protestants back to Catholicism. There presence
    was also felt in the Americas as they
    continuously traveled on missions of religious
    conversion.

86
Reformation
  • Council of Trent
  • The council met in three sessions through a
    period of eighteen years due to interruptions by
    war, plague and politics. Indulgences were
    forbidden, and education of parish priests was
    enforced among other things. The council
    reaffirmed Scholasticism as it did not address
    doctrinal concessions of the Protestants.
  • The council sought to solve the religious
    problems that characterized much of the first
    half of the 16th century. The council sought to
    use educational legislation of priests to gain
    support.

87
