Reformation
Najee M. 5th period
What was the change?
The change in the Catholic church. A movement for religous reform. My picture shows Martin Luthers 95 this which played a major role in the Reformation in the Caholic Church. this was made because the church was selling indolgences, which was a kind of forgiveness . Luthers 95 thesis was a protest which was posted on the door of a castle church.
Who were the people associated with the change?
Martin Luther
Wrote the 95 thesis which were pardon merchants. People who studied this became know as luthrans.
John Calvin
Wrote a book that taught about sinful nature, also taught calvinism. He had the idea of predestination, which ment only thoose selected by God are going to Heven.
King Henney VII
Married to a Spanish princess Katharine of Aragon, she didnt give him a son so he wanted to leave her because he thought she was too old to give him another child, so he had to get out of the catholic church so he could remarry, he remarried five times.
How did the change impact society at the time?
Pesants supported him because they believed his ideas because they thought it could change socity, Nobles supported him because they thought his ideas would weaken the empors power over them. Some people did not support him and signed an agreement to remain loyal to the Pope and Empeor. Many people became protestant, which became Christians, who belonged to a non-catholic church
How is that change evidenced in todays modern society?
We now have many different Christen Churches. We also have many sects of christanty , and you can choose to be which ever one you want be, In result of Martin Luthers contibutions to reforming the church.
