How does the reformation reflect the effects of changes in Europe?
|
1) The focus of the Renaissance on reason is exemplified in Luther&Lorenzo Valla. Ppl began questioning church practices and their purpose.

1)How did the Renaissance affect Europe?
2)what new invention allowed for the spread of information at this time? |
|
|
At this time many ppl began writing books about church corruption. Can you think of 3 problems the church was accused of?
|
1)pluralism (clergy holding several church offices at one) was a major problem.
2)popes during this time lived like secular princes. For instance, some popes wrote love stories while Pope Alexander VI publicly acknowledged his mistress and kids 3)bishops were paid by the church for their services to the state. So why would they do God's work if they had been hired for another reason |
1)If Albert had not wanted to become the archbishop of Mainz (in addition to being
bishop in two other church) Luther might not have attacked the church for indulgences. 2)The pope was supposed to be the guy everyone looked up to for relgious guidance. Did he accurately represent this idea of the perfect pope? 3) think of who owned the majority of the wealth at this time? Who was supposed to pay to the ppl who aided the state? |
|
|
Were there any attempts to stop/reduce the corruption in the church?
if yes or no give 2 reasons as to why |
Altho attempts at reforming the church were weak they at least tried
1)Cardinal Francisco Cisneros (1436-1517)visited relgious houses to make sure rules were being enforced and to maintain education standards. 2)Pope Julius II tried summon an ecumenical council (universal council)which met in Rome from 1512-1517. The end result of this meeting was useless since the bishops put all the blame and pressure to reform on the papacy (and they did next to nothing). |
1) what cardinal tried to aid the training of diocesan clergy?
|
|
|
What was the point of getting an indulgence? What did the church say to convince ppl to buy indulgences?

1)what did the indulgences show abt God?
2)who had a special treasury of merits? 3)who on this physical earth (not God or Jesus) could forgive sinners? |
|
|
After Luther started complaining abt indulgences (he wrote to Pope Leo X and posted his 95 Theses)why didn't Albert of Hohenzollern just ask Tetzel to stop selling indulgences?
|
Keep in mind Albert of Hohenzollern was selling indulgences to pay both the church (for letting him practice pluralism) and the Fugger family (they lent him the omoney he needed to pay for his papal dispensation). If Albert had ordered Tetzel to stop how would he have gotten the money? Also, if
When Luther posted his 95 Theses Pope Leo X claimed that he was not interested in a squabble among monks why would Albert, an archbishop, have cared. |
1) While the ppl thought they getting salvation the church received what from them?
2) If you had to rate Martin Luther 1-10 on the social hierarchy scale what would you give him? |
|
|

|
In 1521 Charles V held his first diet,assembly of the estates. It was called the Diet of Worms and Luther was summoned to renounce his views and works. He said that he would only be convinced by scripture or reason to recant. he was declared an outlaw however, Frederick the elector of Saxony (and other princes) protected him. While he was in seclusion he translated the Bible into German
|
1) a diet was the assembly of German princes. This one in particular was lead by Charles V the holy roman emperor.
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
What catholic dogma did luther reject? This belief pertains to the eucharist
|
The Catholics believe in transubstantion. This means that the wine and bread is transformed into christ's body. Luther believed in consubstantiation that Jesus was somehow present in the wine and bread.

2) transforming of everyday objects into Christ's body |
|
|
The peasants of 1525 revolted. What tract did Luther publish in 1520 that the peasants used to justify their revolt? did this monk aim to inspire a rebellion?
|
The peasants misinterpreted Luther's On Christian Liberty (published in 1520). Luther definitely did not intend to inspire rebellion. Initially he supported the peasants as seen in An Admonition to Peace(1525). however, he was disgusted by their violence and wrote his tract Against he Murderous, Thieving Hordes of theh Peasants where he advocated violence against rebels.
|
-he wrote a tract in 1525 that resulted in the deaths of 75,000 peasants.
|
|
|
Judging from Luther's tract Against teh Murderous, thieving Hordes of the Peasants can it be said that the peasants were solely violent?
|
Altho Luther made the peasants seem super evil one must keep in mind that the peasants wrote the Twelve articles in 1525. This contained all their grievances(common lands taken away, lords had imposed new rents and unjust death duties)
|
In 1525 Swabian peasants met at Memmingen and wrote the twelve articles. What could this document have talked abt?
|
|
|
Charles V was the Holy Roman Emperor shouldn't he have kept Luther under control. why didnt he?
|
Charles V owned a vast amount of land. He was too busy aiding his brother, Ferdinand, against the Turks who besieged Vienna in 1529. He also fought wars against the French Protestants. and he didnt have the resources to oppose protestantism effectively
|
|
|
|
Ok Charles V might have been too busy to save Catholicism but what about the German princes? couldnt they helped?
|
After Luther wrote An Appeal to the Christian Nobility(he urged the princes to confiscate church lands) u can bet that they were on his side. The church owned one-quarter of all the land w/in the holy roman empire who wouldnt support the guy who said take it under the pretext of reforming religion.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Charles V is known as the last medieval emperor because he saw it as his duty to maintain the religious and political unity of Christendom. What happened to change this?
|
In 1555 the Peace of Augsburg allowed for a region to follow their ruler's religion (even if he was lutheran). This destroyed charles V's dream of unifying everyone under 1 religion.

the common thought was that it was impossible for two different religions to coincide in peace in one region/country. This goes along with Charles V and his "medieval" dream
|
