The Reformation Continues Chapter 1, Section 4
Who is John Calvin? • Young law student in France • Only 8 years old when Luther posted the 95 Theses • Publishes a book summarizing Protestant beliefs about God, salvation, and human nature
What Calvin’s book said…. • People are naturally sinful • Cannot earn salvation (just like Luther said!) • In fact, God has already picked who he will save • Predestination: God has already chosen the “elect” (the people who will be saved) Calvinism – religion based on these teachings
Calvin moves to Geneva • People of Geneva ask Calvin to be their leader • Calvin sets up a theocracy • Theocracy = government run by religious leaders • Strict Rules • Religion class is mandatory • No bright clothing • No playing cards • Strict Punishment for breaking the rules • Imprisonment, excommunication, or banishment • Heretics are burned at the stake • To many Protestants, Geneva is the model city
Calvinism Spreads • John Knox puts Calvin’s ideas to work in Scotland • Churches governed by elders or presbyters • Now known as Presbyterian Church • Calvinism becomes official religion of Scotland • Overthrow their queen in favor of her infant son • Today, most Protestant churches trace their roots to Calvinism • Most have softened his teachings though
Other Protestant Reformers • Anabaptists • Only baptize people old enough to choose to be Christian No baby baptisms • Church and state should be separate • Refused to fight in wars • Hated by Catholics AND other Protestants
Also known as the Counter Reformation The catholic reformation
Change from within…. • Jesuits – members of the Society of Jesus • Founded by Ignatius of Loyola • Focused on 3 activities: • Building amazing schools • Convert non-Christians to Catholicism • Stop spread of Protestantism
Reforming Popes • Pope Paul III took 4 important steps to reform the Catholic Church • Investigated indulgence selling • Approved the Jesuit order • Used the Inquisition to try and punish heretics • Called the meeting of the Council of Trent • Pope Paul IV • Index of Forbidden Books • Burns all of the books considered dangerous to the Church
Council of Trent • Catholic bishops and cardinals agree on several things: • Catholic Church’s interpretation of Bible is final • Anyone who used their own interpretation = heretic • Faith & Good works need for salvation • Can’t get by on faith alone • Bible and Church are equally powerful • Indulgences are valid. • But selling fake indulgences is not OK.
Legacy of the Reformation Religious/Social Effects Political Effects Catholic Church’s authority declines Individual monarchs gain power Questioning of beliefs and authority will lay groundwork for the Enlightenment • Protestant churches flourish • New denominations develop • Catholic Church is more unified • Education is emphasized in both churches
