English Reformation

First of all, thank you for your insightful post about the Lutheran faith. This is a faith that is similar to the Roman Catholic beliefs. One similarity these two religions share is the sacrifice of praise and affirm that the bread and wine are the body and blood of Christ. Furthermore, the Catholic believe that there is God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit in one religious figure. According to Cashwell and Young (2011), the lord has a view of three individuals, such as the Father, Son, and Holy…

During this era, of which we now identify as the period of Counter-Reform of the Catholic…

During the Late Renaissance some remarkable inventions such as the printing press made significant changes in the way people viewed the world around them. Up to that time the church had great influence and control over what and how to present to the mass as information. With printing press comes in use the bible and other books became available to the middle class and people started to make their own interpretation of the bible.

The church during the High Middle Ages went through a few reforms. These reforms were to help the church gain more power and stop those who were abusing their powers. Reforms like the Monastic reform succeeded in giving authority back to the papacy when they lost it. The church moved fast and quick during reforms and that is what helped them succeed.

The same became true of the various critical methods. One cannot fully escape one’s…

Martin Luther wrote 95 theses to combat the practices of the church because he wanted to show the sins that were in them. For example, some of his theses included: the selling of church services (funerals), selling indulgences (paying…

teaching of subjugating of guilt of been wrong prevent a sinner from sin over again?. The answer is no. Luther is wrong on this idea as well, without providing a system to educate the sinner how to sin no more, and to make them realized is must be some kind of consequences for every sin. I think his idea would kill human conscience because it makes it easy for them to put no effort in affording sin. Luther believed that human did not have any sort of unique power whatsoever to overcome the…
