The document outlines some of the key reasons for the Protestant Reformation in Europe. Common people saw the Catholic Church as too wealthy, oppressive, and outdated. Cities and republics wanted more independence from the Church's political influence. Monarchies also wanted to reduce the Church's taxes, property, and power within their kingdoms. Additionally, there was dissatisfaction with clerical immorality, ignorance among priests who could barely read, and absenteeism from higher clergy who held multiple positions.

BACKGROUND INFO
The Portuguese were the colonizing precursors to the European "Age of
Discovery" (the exploration and conquest of the Americas.) They set the pattern
of conquest, conversion, slavery of indigenous peoples and appropriation of
their natural resources when they took over the Azores, Madeira and the Canary
Islands off the Western coast of Africa. They requested permission of the pope to take over this territory and he granted it, given that their said purpose was to gain more souls for the Church. Remember that Catholic nations like Portugal and Spain governed in consultation with the Catholic Church and had final say over key international issues involving Catholic nations. Portugal also said that whatever material gain they acquired as a consequence, was just an additional benefit that they promised to administer well. Slavery was approved by the pope because the king of Portugal, Duarte, said that the natives were so barbaric they had to force them to live according to Portuguese standards, which included conversion. Portugal was officially carrying out this "work" on behalf of the Church; acting as guardians.
This sounds really crazy and inhumane for the Church to approve of these
brutal policies. What we need to understand is that the Catholic Church saw its
purpose and mission as taking over the world. I know that sounds like an evil
character in a comic strip, but this is how the Church understood its mission:
Jesus put Peter in charge when he would be gone and told him "Feed my flock."
The Church saw Peter as the first Pope and interpreted "flock" to mean all the
people in the world, not just those who were already converted to Christianity.
So when you see the word "Petrine" it refers to the Church's interpretation of
Peter's duties passed on to the Church. Therefore the Church saw it as its divine
duty to convert all "infidels." Over the years there are different angles to this
that the Church emphasizes, but this is the foundation.

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.
