Understanding Vocabulary from the Reformation Era

The Reformation was a pivotal period in history when individuals questioned the authority of the Church, leading to the establishment of the Protestant Church and significant religious changes. Key concepts include tithes, the tax everyone paid to the Church; indulgences, which offered forgiveness of sins for a price; purgatory, a state for soul cleansing; and papal bulls, formal proclamations by the Pope. Understanding these terms is essential to grasp the complexities of this transformative era and its impact on Christianity and society.
