    Chapter 12:The Reformation Part I

    The Protestant Reformation


    Main Ideas
    • The major goal of
    humanism in
    northern Europe
    was to reform
    Christendom.
    • Martin Luther’s
    religious reforms
    led to the
    emergence of
    Protestantism.
    “I do not accept the authority
    of popes and councils… my
    conscience is captive to the
    word of God. …Here I stand
    and I can not do otherwise.
    God help me. Amen.”
    – Martin Luther April 18th, 1521
    The Protestant Reformation
    • Christian humanists
    believed in the ability of
    human beings to reason
    and improve
    themselves.
    themselves
    • They wanted to reform
    the Catholic Church.
    • This reform would occur
    through developing inner
    piety,
    piety or religious feeling,
    based on studying the
    works of Christianity –
    not rules & rituals.
    rituals
    Erasmus and Christian Humanism
    • The best known
    Christian humanist
    was Desiderius
    Erasmus.
    • He developed what he
    called “the philosophy of
    Christ,” meant to show
    people how to live good
    lives on a daily basis
    rather than how to achieve
    salvation.
    “Erasmus laid the egg that Luther hatched.”
    He did not wish to break from the church,
    just reform it.

    •In his 1509 work The Praise of Folly,


    Folly he especially
    criticized the monks.
    Religion on the Eve of the Reformation
    • Between 1450 and 1520 a
    series of popes failed to
    meet the Church’s spiritual
    needs.
    • They were more
    concerned with the
    political interests of the
    Papal States.
    • Julius II,
    II the “warrior-
    pope,” even led armies
    against his enemies.
    • Many people were
    disgusted with him and the
    Catholic Church.
    Church Corruption
    Religion on the Eve of the Reformation
    • Church officials seemed ignorant of their
    spiritual duties, especially instructing the
    faithful on achieving: salvation –
    acceptance into Heaven. 
    • As a result, obtaining salvation became
    almost mechanical; by collecting relics, for
    example. 
    • Venerating a saint could gain an
    indulgence–release
    indulgence from all or part
    of punishment for sin–according to the
    Church of the time.
    Indulgences
    Johann Tetzel’s Slogan:

    “As soon as the coin in


    the coffer rings, the
    soul from purgatory
    springs!”
    Martin
    Luther

    Reform topics
    for debate
    • Martin Luther was a monk and
    professor at the University of
    Wittenberg, where he lectured on the
    Bible.
    • Through his study of the Bible,
    Luther came to reject the
    Catholic teaching that both faith
    and good works were necessary
    for salvation.

    • He believed human
    deeds were
    powerless to affect
    God and that
    salvation was
    through faith alone.

    • The Edict of Worms • Luther’s local ruler,
    made Luther an outlaw however, protected
    in the empire. him.
    • His books were to be burned and Luther
    delivered to the emperor.

    Lutheranism became the first Protestant faith.


    The Reformation in England
    • Not religion but politics brought
    about the English Reformation.
    • King Henry VIII wanted to divorce
    his first wife, Catherine of Aragon,
    whom he thought could not give him
    a male heir.
    • The pope was unwilling to annul
    (declare invalid) his marriage,
    however, and Henry turned to
    England’s church courts.
    • The archbishop of Canterbury ruled
    that Henry’s marriage to Catherine
    was null and void.
    “I need a divorce! (and
    a low carb diet)”

    • The radical Anabaptists Today the Anabaptists include:

    rejected the involvement of


    the state in church affairs.
    • To them the true Christian
    church was a voluntary
    community of adult believers
    who had undergone spiritual
    rebirth and had then been
    baptized.

    separated the Anabaptists
    from both Catholics and
