Pope or clergy selling indulgencesAny idea what these might be?
Catholics used indulgences in the Middle ages. They gave the individual the right to full or part remission of a punishment that they had been given to be served for sins. After the sinner had confessed and been given absolution the indulgence was granted. All you had to do was cough up some money to the church. The sale of indulgences in the Middle Ages was satirised by Chaucer in 'The Pardoner's Tale', a pardoner being someone who sold indulgences. Alleged abuses in selling and granting indulgences were a major point of contention when Martin Luther started the Protestant reformation in Europe. (1517).
Martin Luther one of the first men to protest about abuses of the religious faith : therefore became known as a “Protestant” as they became known.So how did Luther think you got to heaven? Clue the word that crops up in all three “Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are? ““Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ”. “All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired”
“We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.” Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding. Forgiveness is ONLY in God's command.
Authority of Scripture. Protestants believe that the Bible alone is the sole source of God’s special revelation to mankind, and as such it teaches us all that is necessary for our salvation from sin. Protestants view the Bible as the standard by which all Christian behaviour must be measured. This belief is commonly referred to as “Sola Scriptura” Catholics on the other hand reject the doctrine of “Sola Scriptura” and do not believe that the Bible alone is sufficient. They believe that both the Bible and sacred Roman Catholic tradition are equally binding upon the Christian. Many Roman Catholics doctrines, such as purgatory, praying to the saints, worship or pilgrimages have little or no basis at all in Scripture, but are based solely on Roman Catholic traditions..
Office and authority of the Pope. According to Catholicism the Pope is the “Vicar of Christ” (a vicar is a substitute), and takes the place of Jesus as the visible head of the Church. As such he has the ability to speak “ex cathedra” (with authority on matters of faith and practice), and when he does so his teachings are considered infallible and binding upon all Christians. On the other hand, Protestants believe that no human being is infallible, and that Christ alone is the head of the church. However spiritual power and authority does not rest in the hands of a mere man, but in the very Word of God recorded in Scripture.
How one is saved. Another of the “Five Solas” of the reformation was “Sola Fide” (faith alone), which affirms the biblical doctrine of justification by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone accepted by Lutherans and some other protestant groups.(Ephesians 2:8-10). However, according to Roman Catholicism, man cannot be saved by faith alone in Christ alone. They teach that the Christian must rely on faith plus “meritorious works” in order to be saved. Essential to the Roman Catholic doctrine of salvation are the Seven Sacraments, which are: baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, anointing of the sick, Holy Orders, and matrimony.
What happens after men die. While both believe that unbelievers will spend eternity in hell, from their church traditions and their reliance of non-canonical books, the Catholics have developed the doctrine of purgatory. Purgatory, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia, is a : “place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God’s grace are, not entirely free from venial faults, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions.” On the other hand, Protestants believe that because we are justified by faith in Christ alone, and that Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us – when we die we will go straight to heaven to be in the presence of the Lord (Corinthians 5:6-10 and Philippians 1:23).
Religion as it was developing by Elizabeth’s time. Catholicism had been eaten to by the advance of Protestantism. However Protestantism itself had started to develop into a number of different species: Lutheranism, Calvinism, Zwinglisim etc etc. Shortly after Henry V111 his son Edward V1 started to develop the Protestant Church of England or Anglican Church. It established its own Anglican prayer Book. Later there would be religions based round different ways of interpreting the protestant beliefs The Scottish Presbyterian Church, developing in the period you will study, based some of its beliefs on Calvin. Within England other sects developed in the next two hundred years- Baptists, Congregationalists, Methodists. The most important groups the Elizabethan authorities were concerned about were, one the one hand the Catholics and on the other the PURITANS.
PURITANS The Puritans were English Protestants who in the 16th and 17th centuries wanted a stricter religious discipline, and a more simple ceremonial and creed for the Church of England. They were known for believing pleasure or luxury as sinful. They felt the English reformation had not gone far enough, and that the Church of England was tolerant of practices which they associated with the Catholics. They formed into and identified with various religious groups advocating greater "purity" of worship and doctrine as well as personal and group piety.
Transubstantiation Transubstantiation is the teaching about what happens during the Mass, at the consecration – the part commemorating the Last Supper (Communion). Catholics believe the elements of the Eucharist, bread and wine, are transformed into the actual body and blood of Jesus . They are no longer bread and wine, but obviously retain their appearance. The "Real Presence" is the term referring to Christ's actual presence in the elements of the bread and the wine that have been transubstantiated.
Luther and Consubstantiation The doctrine which Luther adopted was the belief that at the appropriate point of a church service ( Mass for Catholics)- the substance of the body and blood of Jesus coexists with the substance of the bread and wine in the Eucharist. In other words this part of the service provides a commemorative rite, it does not mark a switch to real presence.
