  2. R. H. Bainton The Reformation of the 16c Thus, the papacy emerged as something between an Italian city-state and European power, without forgetting at the same time the claim to be the vice-regent of Christ. The Pope often could not make up his mind whether he was the successor of Peter or of Caesar. Such vacillation had much to do with the rise and success of the Protestant Reformation.

  3. Causes of the Reformation? • Church corruption • Avignon Papacy • Conciliarism • Marsilius of Padua  Defensor Pacis [Defender of the Peace] • Attacked papal authority • The Christian community is the sum of ALL its parts! • Development of personal devotions  suspicion of clergy • Greed of secular leaders  1/3 of Europe  church land • Papal need for money  indulgences • Printing Press

  12. The Catholic/Counter Reformation Crisis in the Church – Recovery or Revitalization? Paul III – Reform minded – a moral compass for the church. Restored mission of the Roman Catholic Church Called the Council of Trent – reaffirmed basic Catholic doctrines, prohibited simony and indulgences (sale), enforced literacy of priests, prepared the Index of Prohibited Books, strengthened the Inquisition

  13. Cath/Counter Refomation cont’d • Loyola and Teresa of Avila • Renewed pageantry of the church – Baroque • Most Europeans remain loyal to the RCC, why? – tradition, the role of the church amongst the poor, and the grandeur and familiarity kept them loyal.

  14. Political Consequences • Gain in power of the state – preached obedience to the crown in Protestant areas • Luther – rejects toleration – true faith was Luther’s faith – “passive obedience” to any ruler, one’s religious obligation, punishment otherwise • Calvin – human affairs are to be regulated for the glory of God, rulers must enforce religious conformity as defined by Calvin, no religious toleration or disobedience, ‘if a ruler is evil, it is due to the sins of the people’ – “spiritual elect” carry over into political and social areas - ARISTOCRACY
