  41. Reformation • The Modern Devotion • Also, known as the Brothers of the Common Life, were religious individuals that did not necessarily agree with the actions of the Catholic Church and sought to provide aid to the impoverished European community. • Martin Luther and Erasmus were both part of the Modern Devotion, which pushed a desire to have religious scriptures in the vernacular, or in the spoken language of an area.

  42. Reformation • William of Ockham • A central religious figure in the medieval times, and in contrast to Thomas Aquinas, his major ideologies got his condemnation from the Catholic Church. • Ockham was an English medieval writer, setting the precedent for the denunciation of Catholic values by the English during the Reformation. Furthermore, Ockham was one of the first individuals that promoted a separation of state and religion, by having an emperor and Pope ruling and having equal power.

  43. Reformation • John Wycliffe • A religious leader in the fourteenth century, who laid the foundations for Protestant Reformation, because of his challenge to the established quo, or the power of the Catholic Church. His followers were called the Lollards. • Wycliffe believed that the clergy needed to be less concern about their physical life and play a more important role in their religious life. Also, he believed personal merit was the basis to a true religious person and he was denounced of being a Donatist because he believed that the performance of religious sacraments depended on both the moral of the person and the performance

  44. Reformation • Jan Huss • Jan Huss led the movement in Bohemia, which sought to reform the Catholic Church in Central Europe, although, it lacked a lot of controlling power, and a contemporary of Wycliffe. • He was against the established power of the Catholic Church; he denounced the validity of some sacraments and the idea of transubstantiation, which would be extremely popular among Luther and Zwingli, two centuries later. Also, he supported the translation of the scriptures in the vernacular.

  45. Reformation • Avginon Papacy • The split of the Catholic Church because of the influence of the French monarchy in the papacy, which weakened its hold on European society. • The Catholic Church began to lose strength because of its political manipulation of the countries and its economic desire to gain wealth. European countries denounced the Church for its inability to unite it. Britain restricted the flow of money that went to Rome, while the French were able to control how many and which cardinals it would sent to Rome.

  46. Reformation • Great Schism • The Great Schism is the split of the church along the line of who was the ruling pope, at one point there were three popes ruling over the papacy. One was supported by the French, and another by the Church in Rome. • This separation demonstrated the weakness of the Church and how easily a political conflict could weaken its power over Europe. Also, it helped future reformers because it helped pin point problems within the Catholic Church.

  47. Reformation • Concilliarism • The Concilliar movement in Europe wanted to reunify the papacy by which the cardinals called meetings to elect their pious leader. Concilliarism sought to regulate the power of the Pope by creating a council of cardinals. After the Council of Constance, the three existing popes were removed from power, and Pope Martin V was elected. • Concilliarism gave more freedom to the local churches and their secular governments. Therefore, monarchies began exercising more power over the church lands and began expanding their economic desires. This movement also allowed countries to leave the radar of the Church, and conquering their own economic and social aspirations

  48. Reformation • Benefice System • The Benefice system gave priests money for guiding the laity and also provided money to the Church. By having multiple laities to tend, the priest gained more money, which was used for Church activities, such as the education of reformers, such as Martin Luther and John Calvin. • The benefice system funneled large sums of money into the Church and the clergy. However, during the Protestant Reformation, the benefice system would become one of Luther’s main challenges to the Church and desire to reform it.

  49. Reformation • Martin Luther • Luther became the largest challenger to Catholicism after his posting of the Ninety-Five thesis in 1517 in Germany. Luther sought to reform the Catholic Church after denouncing the sale of indulgences, the translation of religious scriptures in the vulgate, and the manipulation of the laity for economic desires. • Luther had a defining effect during the sixteenth century because of his reformist views of the Catholic Church. His views were used to form the new Christian sect called the Protestants, even though he did not want to separate from the Church. His three main views were justification by faith alone, attack on indulgences, and sola scriptura.

  50. Reformation • Indulgences • People were able to buy off their sins if they could pay for them, which would allow them to avoid going to purgatory. The sale of indulgences funded the creation of St. Peter’s Basilica. • Indulgences became one of the most attacked ideologies of the Catholic Church. These sales manipulated the fear and social inability of Europeans to understand the economic needs of the Catholic Church. However, the sale of indulgences were not the main issue, it was that secular governments did not receive part of the wealth generated from the indulgences.
