Christ's mission was 'to go and make disciples of all nations' and he had a promise, ' I am with you always.'  The gospel of Christ  was preached to all nations.

Though during the Beginnings, a question about religion was pondered upon.  Did the gentiles need to follow Judaism? Many concerns were raised. The Council of Jerusalem debated on this topic. Finally, they declared that Christianity is not just a form of Judaism, and that the Gospel was not just for the Jews but for all people.]]> 2020-08-31 06:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/708104005 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/708104725 What comes to mind when we hear the word Roman Empire? Well we know for a fact that there was the 'Pax Romana' meaning Roman Peace. This gave people security and relief in travelling long distances due to the long roads the Romans have built. This made Christianity spread even more! It was very easy to travel from one place to another. Another event that happened during the Roman Empire was the Cultural Unity. People established Greek Culture and Language which made people communicate easily with one another. The spread of Christianity grew even more because of clear communication. The Spiritual Hunger also took place during this period as well. People had a need to listen to the Gospel because they felt that they were lacking something. They set a good example of Christ in this period

Though, there were threats in the spread of Christianity.
-People had false beliefs of other Gods
- There were false teachings leading to confusion
-The Roman Government thought of Christianity as a threat to their security.

The Christians needed to hide because the Roman Empire government thought the people had a belief that God's eyes saw equality among them. The government thought that this may weaken the government's state of authority and public morality. They were thought of as cannibals because they ate 'the body of Christ' and people of incest because of calling one another 'brothers and sisters' ]]> 2020-08-31 06:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/708104725 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/708109319 Many things happened during the Medieval Period. This was when the Fall of Room took place. It was then end of the Roman Empire. Charlemagne,the king of the Franks, converted all of his people to Christianity.  Monasticism made people isolate themselves under religious vows. This helped spread Christianity through monasteries. The Great Schism of 1054 took place. There was a division among the Christian, the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox people because of various religious disagreements and political conflicts. There was also the Gregorian Reform, a series of legislative reforms. 

The Crusades caused a lot lives The Christians tried to retake the holy land, Jerusalem from the Muslim control. Inquisitions happened. The church wanted to fight the heresy because of conflicting beliefs from the church. The centralization of the Church happened during the Avignon Papacy. The papal court and courtesy was created, and the church became rich because of the taxes and indulgence. Western Schism happened too. It was a a split between the Roman Catholic Church. Mendicant orders helped in converting people to Christianity, the mendicant friars were in poverty and lived the way Christ did, travelling and spreading the word of God.

The Renaissance  was a period in European History marking the transition of the Middle Ages to modernity. Though the Church during this time was corrupt. Church authorities were greedy and only wanted to benefit from others. There were too many priests and bishops and were not even knowledgeable about Christ's teachings. People started leaving Christianity.

Martin Luther was against the corruption of the Church. He thought reformation was needed which caused the Protestant Reformation. This caused division among Christians Protestants, and Roman Catholics. 

Then the division in the Church made church leaders reflect on their wrong doings which caused the Counter Reformation.

The council of trent happened in 1545 eliminating the abuses and corruption the Church]]> 2020-08-31 06:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/708109871 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/708110144 The scientific revolution happened which made conflict arise between science and the Church. This weakened the Church because people started questioning their own faith because of the evidences science had. 

The French Revolution happened which suppressed the Church's power. ]]> 2020-08-31 06:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/708110144 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/708111213 The Church wanted to conform to modernity. The goal of the church was to bring their faith and traditions to the modern changing world.  These two principles guided the Vatican II.
Aggiornamento, meaning 'bringing up to date' and Ressourcement, meaning 'to go back to the original sources'. Because of the Vatican II, the Church started practicing Universal call to holiness, Christian unity, embracing new technology , scriptures, and the Eucharist.

The Holy Spirit truly was guiding the apostles in carrying out the mission that Christ has entrusted to them. This gave me a feeling of comfort and relief knowing that God's word is being heard.]]> 2020-08-31 06:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/708119099 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717112354 Wow! The Church during the medieval period was very chaotic. A lot of things happened due to conflicting ideas. The church did wrong things which made me reflect on my own wrongdoings. Such as arguing with other people and not being fair to others. I think the Church during the Mediaval Period did not follow Christ's teachings and was a bad example.]]> 2020-09-03 05:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717112354 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717112528 The Church during the Renaissance was very, very corrupt. Though I think I am comforted because there were people who stood up, like Martin Luther, to the wrong doings of the Church causing a reformation.  I am content because the Church reflected upon their wrong doings and started to change.]]> 2020-09-03 05:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717112528 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717112660 I think that Science and Religion is very different on their own way. Science focuses mainly on solid evidences and the questioning  of one's surroundings while, Religion, on the other hand, is more on faith and belief. ]]> 2020-09-03 05:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717112660 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717112803 2020-09-03 05:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717112803 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717191190 Though there were roads and communication was crystal clear with one another in this period. There were many threats to the spread of Christianity. This made me tense up because I know that the Christians had to protect themselves and were having a hard time. It was a very challenging time period to Christians and many were persecuted.]]> 2020-09-03 06:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717191190 jcsantos23 https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717267733 During the Vatican II, the church wanted to become more modern. They looked back at their ancient teachings and updated their process. I think the Church during this time showed a good example of the teachings of Christ. ]]> 2020-09-03 07:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jcsantos23/lcanxauefrk3wqnq/wish/717267733
