Chapter 16 Transformations In Europe 1
Abigail Sullivan
Mr. Petze
WHAP D
24 December 2014 Chapter 16: Transformations in Europe 1550­1750 A.D. 1.) Describe what happened during the Protestant Reformation. Include a discussion of Martin Luther.

The Protestant Reformation was caused due to a man named Martin Luther not agreeing with Pope Leo’s new technique in the Protestant church. Pope Leo was creating a new technique called “indulgences” that would raise funds for the basilica.
“Indulgences” would act as a type of forgiveness for sinners in which they would have to pay for. Martin Luther did not agree with the papacy’s way and began to lead a life on self deprivation, prayer and study. While Martin was in a monastery he wrote directly to
Pope Leo to stop the abuse of the churches followers. This escalated quickly between
Pope Leo and Martin Luther and caused the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther burned the papal bull of condemnation, rejecting the pope’s authority. Martin Luther thought the only way to salvation was through the faith in Jesus Christ and not through the pope.
2.) In what ways was the Catholic Reformation a response to the Protestant
Reformation. Include a discussion of the Jesuits. The Catholic Reformation was greatly influenced by the Protestant Reformation for example, the Catholic Reformation was a counter reformation of the Protestant. The
Catholic churches council would meet at the city of Trent for three sessions and would distinguish their doctrines from Protestant doctrines. A new society of religious orders was with the Jesuits or otherwise known as the Society of Jesus. The Jesuits were founded by a Spanish nobleman in 1450. The Jesuits helped with the stem of the
Protestant tide and tried to win back some adherents by their teachings and preachings.

3.) How did the people’s view of the universe change during the scientific revolution? Discuss some key scientists and innovations.

    The Transformation of European Society, by Gary B. Nash, analyzed the British colonies in North America. By highlighting major changes that took place in the colonies in the eighteenth century, Nash showed how the European mind was transformed from the rigid, hierarchal society of Europe, to the democratic, individualist of America. Nash's first point was about how economic change affected people's views. Since there was so much land in the colonies, it was easier for people to "get rich quick" and climb the social ladder. This was one difference between American and European societies. In Europe, there was a large disparity between the rich and the poor. If you were born a blacksmith's son, you would die a blacksmith. But in America, the abundance of land meant that there were opportunities for growth and change. Poor farmers could become rich businessmen, seemingly. Ironically, it was the Protestant work ethic, which "shattered the utopian dream . . . where men and women worked for the commonweal." This work ethic, which was prevalent in the northern colonies, helped to develop an individualistic, competitive society as opposed to the community-centered Europe. Though the Protestant work ethic was not as strong in the southern colonies, the abundance of slaves caused a competitive mind-set to develop there as well. Nash noted that while this competitive spirit "unleashed economic energies," the desire for land also led to conflicts with the Indians, Spanish, and French. Nash's second point focused on social change in North America. According to Nash, Europeans "accepted the naturalness of hierarchy in human affairs." They did not try to rise above what they considered to be their economic and social status in life. At the beginning of the seventeenth century most of the people living in Britain's colonies were of the middle class. However, because of the quick growth of the population by the 1800s the differences between the poor and wealthy had grown in North…

    Before the thought of Protestantism emerged, the church had already became militarize and politicized. For one thing, church owned the monopoly of God as a result of the issue that average people cannot understand bible in Latin. Secondly, as a byproduct of Crusades in 12th/ 13th centuries, the practice of selling "Indulgences" has expanded significantly throughout Europe. Martin Luther opposed the the statement from Roman Catholic church about salvation by stressing that salvation is independent of merit and worthiness, arguing that it is a gift of god who is not buyable. Luther believed that the only way to respond to God’s saving initiative is through trust in Him (faith). Accordingly, Indulgence and justification only come through faith.…

    Martin Luther made radical statements challenging Papal authority, the deliverance of relief of purgatory via a monetary gain by the church, and exposing the corrupt dogma that exemplified the Roman Catholic Church. Luther, after stating the errors of the church, established what he believed was justification by faith. Luther reduced the amount of sacraments to those that were plainly supported by scripture verses the church’s use of sacraments by conjecture, he denounced the sale of paradise, and propounded that the Bible was the true religious authority, whereas, the church gave authority to a fallible man. Furthermore, Luther’s original intent was not to initiate a reformation, but was to allow for academic debate. Luther found questions regarding the church and theological misconduct that would force him to separate from the church in Rome and establish…

    He challenged the authority of the pope to offer the sale of indulgences directly. This was seen as an attack on the Church. Luther was summoned to Rome. He would have to answer to the charges of heresy he was accused of. Luther did not respond to the summons. That only led to an escalating controversy between Luther and those who defended the faithful document. Luther continued writing about salvation. He wrote about reforms that he saw needed to occur in the church. As a result of that, the rift between Luther and those who believed in him, fueled a growing controversy. (The 95 Theses of Martin Luther)…

    This even changed the minds of the German princes who were in positions to one day possibly lead the country. They did not believe people should have to pay the church and still pay the government. While Luther had a religious disagreement the Princes of Germany had an economic disagreement. “…that comes with a salary paid by the papacy], especially in Germany, into Roman hands and to compel us to buy back or lease these benefices from Rome. This is against both statutory law and equity.”(DOC.3) While people working for the papacy did get paid it was unfair they paid taxes right back.…

    He entered the monastery of the Augustinian Hermits and devoted his life to “prayer, fasting, and ascetic practices – going without sleep, enduring bone-chilling cold without a blanket, and flagellating himself.” During this time of study, Luther began to unwrap the word righteous to which he found troubling. From Romans 1:17 “For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.’” Luther began to understand that he could not live as righteous; in fact, no man could live in such a manner. Luther remarked, “I hated that word, ‘the righteousness of God,’ by which I had been taught according to the custom and use of all teachers ... [that] God is righteous and punishes the unrighteous sinner.” Recognizing his “spiritual struggles” the Abbott, Johann Von Staupitz transferred Luther to the monastery at Wittenberg. While at Wittenberg, Luther continued his studies in religion earning and “began his second set of degrees, taking another B.A. in…

    The Protestant Reformation was a religious movement throughout Europe during the 16th century. During this time, the acceptance of worshiping God how a person wanted to wasn’t met with the scrutiny that the Catholic Church dealt among non-conformists in the past. The Reformation was spurred by the teachings of Martin Luther, a former catholic monk. His ideals helped to lead entire nations into the beginning of an era of religious freedom. The Reformation also led to much of what America’s religious ideals are today. Much of what allows for religious freedom in today’s world was due to the Reformation (“Protestant 2012”).…
