Reformation Mr. Gluckson Geography-Aruba
Protestant Reformation: Beginning • Protestant= someone who protested the Catholic Church. • Reformation= when people demand change(s). • The Protestant Reformation began b/c… • The Church made Protestants say “ I MAD!”
I. Indulgences Then Now • Indulgences= paying for forgiveness of your sins. • Church is selling forgiveness to make $$$$$$$$$. • Who did this anger?
M. Merchants want usury • Usury= lending money and charging interest. • Church says usury is wrong. • Who would this anger? Protestants? ML?
A. Absolute power and wealth of the church • Why was the Catholic Church so powerful in Europe? • What people would have preferred to be most powerful?
D. Domination of the church by Italians • Non-Italians (Germans/English) mad.
Reflection • Look at each letter of IMAD. Who would have been angry at the Church about each one and why?
Martin Luther1483-1546 • Was a German priest in the Catholic Church. • Observes indulgences going on in the Church and begins to question the Church’s actions and authority. • Posts his observations (95 theses) on the Church entrance in 1517. • After reading the 95 theses, Catholics started to question the Church’s authority and wrongdoings.
Martin Luther Cont. 1517 • Catholics, who questioned the Church’s authority and power became known as Protestants. • These Protestants later created the religion of Protestantism. • Martin Luther, was excommunicated by the Catholic Church. • ML goes into hiding back in Germany and translates the Bible into German. Why is this important? • Asks pal, Gutenberg to print Bible in German. Why is this important?
Counter Reformation • Catholic Church admits their wrongdoings and declares that indulgences will no longer be a practice of the Church.
Reflection • Do you think you would have had the same courage and integrity as Martin Luther? If yes, why? If no, why not?
