pay for this lifestyle• Only way to heaven is through the church• Baptism is required for a chance at heaven but you

must pay• Tithes• Work requirements• Indulgences: A ‘get out of purgatory free card’ for

purchase• Pilgrimages: travel to a holy place and buy proof• Relics: artifacts associated with Jesus or other holy

people

Catholic Church Responds to the Protestant Reformation• Pope Paul III 1530-1540• Goal: improve church morality and roll

back Protestant influence

• Tactics to accomplish goal:• Appoints reformers to positions of power

and influence• The Council of Trent• Society of Jesus• Teresa of Avila• The Inquisition

Council of Trent• First meets in 1545 (on and off for 20 years)• Re- declared that Salvation comes through faith and good works• The Bible is a major source of religious truth but not the only one• Established penalties for corrupt clergy• Established schools to better educate future clergy

Society of Jesus • AKA Jesuits – 1540• Ignatius of Loyola – “Soldier of God”• Combat heresy and spread catholic faith

• Jesuit Requirements• Moral discipline• Rigorous religious training• Absolute obedience to the Church

• World wide efforts• Advise Catholic rulers• Schools to teach humanist and Catholicism• Asia, Africa, Americas

Teresa of Avila• Wealthy Spanish Family• Joins convent in youth - Carmelites• Not strict enough

• Sets up her own order of nuns – Shoeless Carmelites• Isolated• Deprived themselves of food and sleep• Focus on prayer and meditation

• Church asks her to reform convents and monasteries all throughout Spain• Canonized after her death

Strengthens Inquisition• Church court created during

Middle Ages• Torture and execution to root

out heresy• Forbidden Books = list of

works too immoral or irreligious for Catholics to read (included works by Luther and Calvin)

Did the Catholic Reformation Succeed?• Rome was more moral than before• Some areas were returned to Catholic control• But Europe was still divided• Catholics in the south• Protestants in the north

Something Both Catholics and Protestants Shared: Persecuting others• Each group targets another• Catholics v. Protestants BUT ALSO• Catholics and Protestants v. radicals

(Anabaptists) or non Christians (witch hunts, Jewish ghettos)

• Witch Hunts• Women and men usually on the

fringes of society• Beggars, poor widows, herbalists etc

• Tens of thousands killed• Most in German states

Persecution Cont…• Treatment of Jews• Had prospered during Renaissance – employed in various trades• 1516 Venice orders Jewish people into ghettos the rest of Italy

soon follows• ML called for Jewish people to be expelled from Christian nations,

and to burn their books and synagogues• Some German princes required them to wear yellow badges or

some other kind of distinguishing clothing• 1550 Charles V bans Jewish migration to Spanish colonies in

America• As a result many Jewish people move to Poland-Lithuania and

the Ottoman Empire where they are allowed to live in relative peace for a time

Exit Slip• If the Catholic Church had undertaken reform earlier, do you

think that the Protestant Reformation would have occurred? Please explain your answer.
