Unit 3 Identifications: The Protestant Reformation

Northern Renaissance, more obsessed with religion

Writes and belittles the church and the monks, and the pope indirectly

A written work on an idealistic life in a fictional community with a new and resolved social system, church didnt like what he was writing & neither did his king

When a church official is in charge of more than one church office (ie Archbishop in one place, Cardinal in another)

When a church official, struggling with holding more than one office, puts a non-religious idiot in his place while he is away

Wrote Imitation Of Christ about doing good works

Sacred acts and traditions of the church

Created the Protestant Reformation by sharing his other ideas that eventually created the Lutheran Church

Taught by Luther, faith is all you need, not good works or indulgences

All Christians who followed God were their own priests, sounded good to the peasants (led to the start of Peasants War)

Seller of indulgences, "once the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs"

Pieces of paper signed by the pope 'freeing you of sins & purgatory' sold by church

Written by Luther, indictment of abuses by the church in the form of the sale of indulgences, nailed to church doors in Wittenburg

Holy Roman Emperor Charles V declared Luther an outlaw, had his books burned, and ordered him to be captured & delivered

Caused by peasant tax & abuse and no economic improvement, inspired by 'priesthood of all believers' but Martin Luther did not support them, his ex-follower Thomas Muntzer led them instead
