  1. Aim: How did the Protestant Reformation Change Western Europe? Do Now: Should members of the clergy be allowed to marry? Should it even matter?

  2. I The Church at the start of the Renaissance The Church sponsored many works of art and architecture during the Renaissance. Needing money, corruption became more common. Priests sold indulgences (pardons for sins that guaranteed entry to heaven). Get out of Hell Free!

  3. The Church at the start of the Renaissance Continued… C) In 1517 a German Priest, Johann Tetzel sold indulgences to anyone who gave money to the new Cathedral of St. Peter in Rome. (He promised salvation for you and your dead relatives!) “As soon as the gold in the casket rings; the rescued soul to heaven springs.” - Johann Tetzel Cathedral of St. Peter, Rome

  4. The Church at the start of the Renaissance Continued… C) Martin Luther, a German monk was outraged. He wrote the 95 Theses, a list of 95 arguments against the Church. He posted the list on the door of Tetzel’s church in Germany. “Hence those who preach indulgences are in error when they say that a man is absolved and saved from every penalty by the pope's indulgences.” –Martin Luther, 95 Theses Martin Luther

  5. III Martin Luther vs. the Church • Thanks to Gutenberg's printing press, copies of the 95 Theses were printed and spread quickly across Europe. • Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther. However, Luther was able to gain followers due to protection from his local ruler, Frederick the Wise. • By 1530 Luther’s followers called themselves “Protestants”, meaning they were protesting the Pope. "I would never have thought that such a storm would rise from Rome over one simple scrap of paper...“ - Martin Luther Frederick the Wise

  6. Martin Luther vs. the Church Continued… D) How did Luther’s beliefs differ from the Catholic Church?

  7. Martin Luther vs. the Church Continued… E) When Martin Luther realized that he could not reform the Catholic Church, he broke away from it, creating the Protestant (Lutheran) Church.

  8. IV Consequences of the Protestant Reformation A) As the Protestant Reformation spread in Europe, new sects within Protestantism emerged, including Calvinism and Anglicanism.

  9. Henry VIII

  10. V How Did the Catholic Church Respond? A) The Catholic Church was afraid of the fast spread of Protestantism. They responded with the Counter Reformation; reforms of their own that were meant to bring Protestants back to the Catholic Church. The following are tactics used by the Catholic Church during the Counter Reformation: 1. Council of Trent (1545 – 1563): A meeting of Church officials. They decided to end the selling of indulgences, but to keep most Catholic traditions. They also created the Index of Forbidden Books; any book on the list (that went against the Church) would be burned.

  11. How Did the Catholic Church Respond? Continued… 2. The Church increased the use of the inquisition (first questioning, and then torturing suspected heretics). This led to increased anti-Semitism and witch hunts. 3. 1540 the Church officially recognized the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), founded by Ignatius of Loyola. Their mission was to spread Catholicism worldwide.

  12. How Did the Catholic Church Respond? Continued… B) The Counter Reformation did not end the spread of Protestantism. The conflict between Protestants and the Catholic Church actually increased! The 30 Years War (1618 – 1648) was fought between Catholic and Protestants over who would rule the Holy Roman Empire (Germany). 7.5 million people died. The war ended with the Treaty of Westphalia, which guaranteed all rulers the right of sovereignty (the power to self-rule, and to decide the official religion of their land) C) Fleeing the religious conflict, many Protestants fled to the New World… including the Pilgrims!

  13. Do Not Confuse These Two Men! Martin Luther, 16th Century Martin Luther King Jr., 20th Century

  14. Summary • How did the Renaissance lead to the Protestant Reformation? • Do you agree more with Martin Luther or the Catholic Church? Why? 3. Luther on the Jews: “"What shall we do with this damned rejected race of Jews since they live among us and we know about their lying and blasphemy and cursing... Perhaps we can spare a few of them from the fire and flames.” –from Concerning the Jews and their Lies Why do you think that Martin Luther felt this way about Jews? Should it change his place in history? Explain. 4. How did the Catholic Church respond to Protestantism? List 4 ways. 5. If you were the Catholic Church, how would you have responded to Protestantism?
