The Catholic Counter Reformation Global History and Geography I Name: ______Ms The Catholic Counter Reformation Global History and Geography I Name: ___________________ Ms. King Date: ___________________ Family:___________________ The Protestant Reformation seriously weakened the power of the Roman Catholic Church. As Protestantism became more popular, the Roman Catholic Church lost practitioners, income, and land. In England, Henry VIII challenged the Pope and became the head of the Church of England in 1534. By the mid-1500s, the Roman Catholic Church began its own reform – the Counter Reformation. During the Counter Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church decided to reform itself. Then it decided to counter, or fight against, Protestant beliefs. In 1545, the Roman Catholic Church called for a council of church officials to meet at the German city of Trent. This council lasted 18 years. It wrote down the most important beliefs of the Catholic Church and stopped the sale of indulgences. However, it disagreed with Luther. The council said that people found salvation only through the Roman Catholic Church. The council also said that people had to go to church and do good deeds to be saved and had to accept the Pope as the only leader of the Christian Church. Finally, Catholics had to agree with the Church’s interpretation of the Bible. In addition to the Council of Trent, the Inquisition was established. It was a special court that inquired into people’s religious beliefs. If the person was found guilty of heresy or believing in ideas that differed from the Roman Catholic Church, the person could be tortured or even executed. The Inquisition frightened people in Catholic countries and led to fewer dissenters. The Pope also began to censor books by telling people which books they could read. Finally, a new religious order was founded by Ignatius of Loyola. The Jesuits were dedicated to spreading the Catholic faith to non-Christians in Africa, Asia, and North and South America. Now, Europe had two groups of Christian churches – Catholic and Protestant. Many northern Europeans became Protestants while Italy, France, Spain, and southern Germany remained Catholic.

  • Exaltation of the Holy Cross If You Walk Into Any Catholic Church, You
    Exaltation of the Holy Cross If you walk into any Catholic Church, you will immediately see the cross, the crucifix. Every Sunday we are led into the church by the cross. When we begin mass, we bless ourselves with the sign of the cross. And if you look above the altar, you will see the crucifix prominently displayed. The cross decorates our homes, and for many of us it has even become a lovely piece of jewelry, something we proudly display. But it wasn’t always this way. The cross was once a sign of horror and shame, something that instilled fear and loathing into every heart. Crucifixion was the punishment the Roman Empire reserved for slaves, violent criminals, and those who rebelled against the Roman state. In the Old Testament, the Book of Deuteronomy says, “Cursed by God is anyone who hangs on a tree.” So imagine how difficult it was for the first Christians to preach the gospel of the crucified Christ. Crucifixion was the punishment for slaves, violent criminals, and political rebels. Jesus was crucified. Therefore Jesus must have been … Anyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified) is under God’s curse. Jesus was crucified. Therefore, Jesus must have been under God’s curse. You see, what we take for granted today was a stumbling block in the ancient world, a scandal, a cause for shame. But today we celebrate a feast in honor of the cross; we reverence and proclaim the cross because this instrument of shame and torture has become the source of our salvation.

  • 5 Myths About the Teaching of the Catholic Church on Homosexuality
    5 Myths about the Teaching of the Catholic Church on Homosexuality Rev. Philip Smith (Parochial Vicar, Most Blessed Sacrament Church and Corpus Christi University Parish, Toledo, OH --- Diocese of Toledo) Myth: The Catholic Church encourages a negative attitude towards people who identify as homosexual. Catholic Church Teaching: The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that persons with homosexual tendencies “must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided” (CCC 2358). The Catholic Church continues Jesus’ mission in offering salvation to all people including those with same-sex attractions. The Catholic Church welcomes parishioners with same-sex attractions as God’s beloved sons and daughters and strives to share with them the joy of the Good News of God’s unconditional love. Myth: The Church condemns persons with same-sex attractions and believes that persons with same-sex attraction should just “pray the gay away”. Catholic Church Teaching: While the Catholic Church teaches that homosexual acts are morally unacceptable, the Church teaches that homosexual inclinations are not sinful in themselves. The Church recognizes that in a significant number of persons their homosexual desires are “deep- seated” and that these desires will accompany them throughout their life. The Catholic Church does not endorse an approach that requires all persons with same-sex attractions to become “straight” or heterosexual. The Catholic Church teaches that God calls all persons, including those with same-sex attractions, to live the virtue of chastity. For persons with same-sex attractions, living chastely includes not engaging in homosexual acts.

  • Martin Luther Worksheet
    Name: __________________________ MartinProtestant Luther (1483 - 1546) Reformation Martin Luther was a German monk and teacher of theology (religion). He troubled about the possibility of not going to heaven. He led a strict life, but was worried about sin. Luther read the writings of early Christian theologians, including St. Augustine, and the Bible. He found the answer he was looking for in Paul's Letter to the Romans (Romans 1:17 - "The righteous shall by his faith.") Only faith (in the ultimate goodness of Jesus), not good deeds, could save a person. No good works, rituals, etc. would save a person if they did not believe. Martin Luther prepares to burn the papal bull. Overall, Luther was a rather crude man. He had no trouble with talking about taking up arms against those who opposed him. He also saw fit to use foul language to combat evil. For example, he dismissed the Jewish rabbis' interpretations of Scripture as "Jewish piss and sh_ _." He thought his physical ailments were caused by the devil, who was trying to stop him. Before Martin Luther died, when he was very ill, he told his wife, "I am fed up with the world, and it with me. I am like a ripe stool, and the world is like a gigantic anus, and so we're about to let go of each other." The Beginnings Indulgences Tetzel, a friar, sold indulgences. Doctrines of indulgences taught that Christ and the saints had stored up a treasury of merit. Indulgences could reduce the amount of time spent in purgatory; did not bring forgiveness of sin.
