The document provides an overview of the causes and key events of the Protestant Reformation. It discusses corruption in the Catholic Church, the impact of Renaissance humanism, influential religious reformers like Wycliffe and Huss, and resentment from secular rulers over papal power. It then focuses on Martin Luther and his 95 Theses opposing indulgences in 1517, which helped spark the Reformation. Other reformers like Zwingli and Calvin established new Protestant doctrines and sects. The spread of Lutheranism and religious wars in Germany are also summarized.

IMHO, you cannot truly understand the history and theology of the modern Catholic Church until you read John O’Malley’s excellent histories, Trent, What Happened at the Council, and What Happened at Vatican II.
Was the Council of Trent a reactionary council? This is a common perception, that the Council of Trent initiated the Catholic Counter-Reformation to defend the Catholic Church from the influences of the Protestant Reformation started by Martin Luther, and that the Vatican II Council was a rejection of Trent, steering the Catholic Church in a more liberal direction. Father O’Malley’s history leads to a different conclusion, that the actual Council of Trent, as opposed to the later impressions of Trent, is really a progressive council that is a precursor to Vatican II. Indeed, the documents of Vatican II and the subsequent Catholic Catechism both cite the Council of Trent extensively.
The post Reformation polemics are to blame for this misunderstanding of the nature of the Council of Trent. In Father O’Malley’s words, “When Pope Pius IV confirmed the council’s decrees, he forbade the printing of commentaries or notes on them without explicit permission of the Holy See.” The Pope really had no choice, the Catholic Church was besieged, had the Pope not restricted access to the minutes of the Council of Trent, protestants would have taken out of context and distorted the debates to discredit the Church. But this prevented balanced scholarship on Trent for four hundred years, until long after Pope Leo XIII opened the Vatican Archives in 1880.

Purgatory... part 4...the councils... florence and lateran vEdward Hahnenberg
Part 4 examines the ecumenical councils of Florence and Lateran V and their contribution, or lack thereof, to codifying Purgatory as dogma in the Catholic Church.
Tudor-Stuart England, 1485-1714 A.D. Lecture by Dr. Lizabeth Johnson | OLLI a...UNM Continuing Education
Between the long-lasting popularity of the works of Shakespeare to the more recent popularity of T.V. and film dramas about the Tudor and Stuart monarchs of England, the Tudor-Stuart period in English history is one of the most well-known eras in English history. Beginning with the accession of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, in 1485 and ending with the death of Anne, the last Stuart queen, in 1714, this roughly 230-year period in English history includes a number of notable and even infamous events, such as the English Reformation, the attack of the Spanish Armada, the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, and the unification of England and Scotland. It was also during this period that England started down the path that would lead to the British Empire, which would encompass lands as far flung as the Americas, Australia, India, China, Africa, and the Middle East. With the creation of the British Empire, English/British culture began to spread out to all these regions of the world, to the ultimate effect that a majority of the modern world still views the English language as a common tongue. We'll focus on the political history of this period as well as the social and cultural aspects of that history, with a particular emphasis on how these important events (and more!) shaped England, the British Empire, and the world.

Describe Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. What did .docxsimonithomas47935
Describe Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. What did he mean by justification by faith alone? What was he protesting? What did he do? What were his philosophies? How did the Catholic Church react to this? What are some of the key differences between Protestants and Catholics?
Protestant Reformation
Many changes took place during the next few hundred years. Several historical events influenced the rise of the Protestant Reformation, including the Black Plague (which killed 1/3 of Europe), numerous wars of the 14th century, and the Renaissance or Rebirth during the 15th and 16th centuries which not only changed art and architecture through greats like Da Vinci and Michelangelo, but an entire worldview.
During the black plague, many lost faith in the Catholic church when priests abandoned the sick to flee for their own safety. During the Renaissance, new artists and thinkers questioned medieval church values and gave a fresh new (and radical) worldview.
Also during this time, an invention called the Printing Press allowed for mass circulation of literature. How could this be a threat to the Catholic Church? Within the church, which has grown very wealthy and powerful, there were numerous examples of corruption, abuse, and scandals. Combine that with political and religious divisions and dissent and you've got yourself a stage for destruction. Above all, the printing press allowed for individual interpretation and perception of the scriptures, which was a direct threat to the authority of the Catholic Church.
All of these historical events bring us to this central issue you've seen building in your previous lessons --authority. The long standing authority of the church was being questioned. During this time, the selling ofindulgences also becomes popular. The church was rebuilding St. Peter's Basilica and it was believed that whoever donated money to this project would be able to buy their loved ones' souls out of purgatory.
Martin Luther of Saxony (1483-1546)
Martin Luther was a German Catholic Monk (from the Augustinian branch) who was unhappy with all this corruption, abuse and especially, the selling of indulgences. He decided to reform the church and proclaimed our Justification through Faith.
He nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittgenstein in 1517. This theses outlined all of the things he felt were wrong with the Catholic Church. There were many things he had issues with.
First, he defied Pope Authority, saying that there is a Universal Priesthood where we all can be preachers and should marry and have children. (This is something Luther did himself right away after years of being a celibate monk, taking a fellow nun as his wife and having multitudes of children. Just call them the "Jon and Kate Plus 8" of the 16th century.)
He rejected most of the 7 sacraments, including confession, anointing, and ordination. He rejected many of long held Catholic doctrine/rituals such as the veneration of Mary, the saints,.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

35. I need a son. I have been married for 20 years and my wife, Catherine of Aragon is too old to have any more children. Who will inherit my throne when I die? I spy an attractive lady – in-waiting called Anne Boleyn. If only I could marry her instead. Will the Pope give me a divorce? The Church is very rich. I need money for my luxurious court. If only I could get my hands on it. The new Protestant ideas are spreading in Germany. Princes there are reforming their churches and throwing out the Catholic Church. Some people in England like the new Protestant ideas. They believe that the Bible should be in English not Latin. The Church takes money out my country in taxes to help build St Peter’s in Rome. What do I get in return?

Editor's Notes
I. The Early Reformation E. The Radical Reformation and the German Peasants’ War 1. Radical Reformers — Wanted to create a community of believers separate from the state. Some were pacifists; others believed in communal ownership of property and a life of simplicity. Anabaptists — adopted the baptism of believers (rejected the sacraments). 2. Impact of Radical Reformers — Initially, they triggered persecution, both from Protestant and Catholic authorities. But some groups like the Quakers, the Baptists, and the Congregationalists had an impact on the growth of American religious and democratic ideals. 3. Peasant Rebellion — The peasants, after crop failures in 1523 and 1524 and the seizure of village common lands by the nobility and the imposition of additional rents and taxes, rebelled, citing Luther. Luther initially sided with them, but later turned against them as the Peasants’ War (1525) unfolded, arguing that independence from the Roman church did not mean opposition to legally established secular powers. F. Marriage and Sexuality 1. Attack on Clerical Celibacy — Most Protestant reformers married, arguing that vows of celibacy ran against human nature and God’s commandments. Many sought to close convents and monasteries, and many nuns left. 2. Position of Women — Reformers argued that men and women were to be spiritually equal in marriage but women were still supposed to be subject to men. 3. Marriage — Created by God as a remedy for human weakness, but marriages in which spouses did not support each other endangered their souls and their own communities. Most reformers therefore allowed divorce and remarriage. 4. Condemnations of Prostitution — Believing that marriage was the only proper remedy for lust, most Protestants condemned prostitution and brothels.
II. The Reformation and German Politics (The election of Charles V [r. 1519–1556] greatly shaped the course of the Reformation) A. The Rise of the Habsburg Dynasty 1. Strategic Marriages — Frederick III (Holy Roman Emperor who ruled most of Austria) to Eleonore of Portugal; his son married Mary of Burgundy (this brought together Burgundy and the Habsburgs). Additional marriages took place among their children and the children of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. 2. Charles V (1550–1558) — Heir to a vast and diverse collection of states and peoples — he believed that it was his duty to maintain the political and religious unity of Western Christendom.
III. The Spread of Protestant Ideas E. The Reformation in Eastern Europe 1. Bohemia — Mixed outcome — there was strong appeal of Lutheranism to the Germans in Bohemia, yet the Catholic counter-reformation also took hold there. 2. Poland-Lithuania (diverse population — Germans, Jews, Tartars, Poles, and Lithuanians) — Luther’s ideas took root but the Counter-Reformation effectively took hold, thanks in particular to the activities of the Jesuits. 3.Hungary — (Complicated because of the Turkish conquest in 1526) — many Hungarian nobles embraced Lutheranism, as did peasants — but in late 17 th century, Hungarian nobles recognized Catholic Habsburg rule after the Turkish withdrawal in 1699, and Catholic rule was restored.
