  6. Reformation How Renaissance values created change within the Catholic Church

  7. Reformation • Reformation: (1517-1563) a change in the Church’s ways of practicing and teaching Christianity. • Causes: • Corruption of the pope • Discontent over Church policies and practices • Church authority over society

  8. THE MAIN IDEA!!! • Religion is a good concept, but the people running it are corrupt!

  9. Protestant Reformation • In Germany, the movement for reform led to a split in the Church that produced a new form of Christianity called Protestantism. • This started the Protestant Reformation; led by Martin Luther. • Luther was a monk and professor that criticized the power and corruption of the Catholic church in 1517. • Famous for his “95 Theses” that criticized church practices

  10. Topics of 95 Theses: Baptism Powers of clergy Rejected indulgences Removing sin Punishment for heresy Use of confession What was Luther’s “problem?”

  11. Luther’s Criticisms • Indulgences: paying for forgiveness. • The Bible was only in Latin: this allowed the pope to translate it however he wanted. • Luther’s supporters became known as Protestants because they protested against the church.

  12. Sale of Indulgences

  13. Martin Luther Reading/Wkst • Since Martin Luther was the most famous reformist we are going to read about his changes and conflicts within the Catholic church. • We will start reading the article together. • As we read, you must fill out this graphic organizer. • I will check them for points once you are finished. • What you do not finish is homework!!!

  14. Florence Baptistery: Important religious building (Medicis were baptized here!) built in the Romanesque style. Famous Renaissance architect, Lorenzo Ghiberti designed the bronze doors which Michelangelo described as The Gates of Paradise

  16. PREVIOUS LESSONS….. • Where did the Northern Renaissance start? (location!) How/why did it reach the North? • What did artists in the northern Renaissance paint? • Who was Francois Rabelais? Why was he controversial? • Who was Thomas More? Why was he controversial? • How did the church abuse their power? List at least three reasons!!! • THINKER: List three problems you have with school. How could these problems be solved?

  17. What is your problem? • Most people in society have something they consider their “problem,” this was especially true during the Renaissance. • Even though the Renaissance succeeded in art and literature, many citizens felt the church was too corrupt, peasants had no rights, and society did nothing to stop it. • Before we talk about how they attempted to change these problems, I want to know about your problems. • More specifically, what are the problems you have with school?

  18. What is your problem? • Using your answer to #6, you will meet in a group and discuss your problems with school. • In your group, share your problems and come up with the FIVE biggest issues! Everyone needs to contribute! • Rank them 1-5 on a separate sheet of paper. • Take this seriously! No personal attacks! • Next, answer: “how can these problems be solved?” • We will discuss these as a class.

  19. Reformation Just as we listed out the problems and brainstormed solutions, citizens during the Renaissance did the same thing. What were they fighting for?
