PROTESTANTS/CATHOLICS • Surprisingly agreed that the separation of Church and State would lead to the secularization of society. • For BOTH religions, a connection grew between religious heresy & economic dislocation
Lutherans - Protestants • Protestant doctrines of the priesthood of all believers raises religious status of laypeople and provides greater income for city treasuries • Tried to balance popular religious ideas with the aims of political authority
Calvininsts • Predestination- God has already decided who would be saved/damned • God is total power, humanity is total weakness • Instead of focusing on the negative legacy of this, Calvinists believed in the redemptive work of Christ • An energizing dynamic, becomes focused on work-ethic • The most widely exported Reformation religion around the world
Legacy of Calvin/Calvinism Becomes model for: • Presbyterians in Scotland • Huguenots in France • Puritan Churches in England • Puritan Churches in New England
RADICAL REFORMATION • Rejected ideas that Church and State need to be united, sought to create a voluntary community of believers • Groups include Anabaptists, and later on Quakers, Baptists and Congregationalists • Directly tied to the SEPARATION of Church and State in the U.S.A. today • Severely condemned/murdered by Catholics, Protestants & Politicians (Germans/Swiss)
