control over schools, universities, and publications” (Newth 9). Which resulted in the Church banning Thomas More's, Galileo's, and Joan of Arc's written work. In 1543 the church had stated that no book may be printed, censored, or traded without their permission, and in 1563, the King had abolished that law (Newth 10). Stating that only he, Charles IX of France could decide which books would be published. The church itself had created a list of books in 1559 that were banned; the list had…

I’ve been informed from my daughter Markela Joseph that she may not be able to receive her sacrament of confirmation because of an activity that begins at 9:30 which I haven’t yet attend because as I recently told you when I signed up and continuously when you ask that I can’t attend many things that are on Sundays because I work on Sundays from 8:00 Am until 6 pm I am a single parent. She attends creole mass with her older sister on Sundays and family members and close family friends. The…

Schmalkaldic League against the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. All this conflict eventually led to long war the war finally ended by the Peace of Augsburg. This peace treaty led to the Emperor losing power and letting Germany to determine if it was Catholic or Protestant. The reform also affects other parts of Europe like England. After the death of King Edward VII, many prevented his sister Mary I to succeed him and so they crowned his cousin Lady Jane Grey. Mary however did not give up. She and…

International Catholic Deaf Association The organization I have been assigned to do a report on is called International Catholic Deaf Association. The organization was established to bring together the deaf Catholics in around 1949 in Toronto, Canada. Deaf people from New York, Michigan, and Canada worked with priests to set up the organization. Also with the archbishop of Toronto, James Cardinal McGuigan, who gave his approval for the foundation of the ICDA. The points in the report that…

winning the ears and hearts of people. There are many Christians today who face persecution all over the world, especially in the Middle East. While I believe that this issue needs to be addressed, I’m not sure of the type of action Christians or the Church should take. If we try to respond with force to the persecutions, we will only enlarge the rift between Christianity and the people behind the persecutions. If we ignore the problem, the persecutions will continue and more people will die.…

the kingdom, the true holy brotherhood of the church, appears to be on the ‘endangered species list.’ Possibly through the many centuries; lust, power, money, greed, neglect or the combination of all, may have been the reason for their departure from God’s Truths. Substantially, to all outward appearances, the lack of integrity and sacredness of the brotherhood’s sexual relationship with God looks as if it may be fading away within the Catholic Church.

The Spanish and the Portuguese people were competing for the land that the indians were on while two missionaries were trying to convert the indians to Christianity. The movie was actually very historically accurate to what happened. The movie showed the war and what caused it in an very accurate way. In the beginning a missionary was…

Utopian texts are created to instigate introspective thought into the society in which the audience lives in. Thomas More wrote Utopia to satirize and to criticise the status quo of his era in 1555. . Written in a time of political, cultural and religious upheaval, it was a revolutionary text that challenged the accepted state of affairs.

These two examples of subcultures are excellent. The Catholic and Presbyterian Church do have many similarities with their primary focus on Christianity but differ greatly as to the path to achieve this life choice, many of which seem to contradict each other. Not having as much knowledge of the doctrine specific to the Presbyterian denomination as Protestants in general I am limited in my response options. It has been many years since I have seriously looked at the similarities and differences…
