There were various reasons which led to the cause of the Reformation. The church sold tickets of indulgence ( a release from all sins by the Catholic Church, reducing time in purgatory after death), clergy abuse caused people to begin criticizing the Church. The greed and scandalous lives of the clergy had created a split between them and the peasants.]]> 2019-05-13 21:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359675099 jampheltenzin https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359675715 2019-05-13 21:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359675715 jampheltenzin https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359676037 Due to a series of crisis, spreading the word of God became hard for Luther. In june 15234, german peasants revolted against their lords and looked to Luther to support their cause. Instead Luther supported the lords. According to Luther the state the lords are called by God to maintain order and spread the word of the Gospel. He believed it was the duty of the lords to put an end to all revolts.

In 1541 John Calvin who wrote “Institutes of the Christian Religion,” was invited to settle in geneva and put his reformed doctrine- which stressed God’s power and humanity’s predestined faith, to practice. Calvin’s geneva became the breeding ground for protestant exiles and his doctrine quickly spread to other countries]]> 2019-05-13 21:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359676215 jampheltenzin https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359676414 The English Reformation began with King Henry VIII’s quest for a son. The English Reformation was rooted in politics. When pope Clement VII refused to to annul Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon sop he could remarry, he finalized England’s break with the pope and Catholic Church.  The Act of Supremacy declared that the king was “the only supreme head on earth of of the (new) Church of England.”]]> 2019-05-13 21:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359676414 jampheltenzin https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359676650 The Catholic Church was slow to respond to the teachings and preachings of Luther. The Council of Trent, which met off articulated the Church’s response to the problems that triggered the Reformation and to the Reformers. The Catholic Church of the Counter-Reformation ear grew more spiritual, more liberate and more educated. There were threats of Protestant heresy. Inquisition, both in Spain and in Rome was reorganized to fight the threats of Protestant heresy]]> 2019-05-13 21:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359676650 jampheltenzin https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359676918  Martin Luther opposed the Church and said that the practices of the Church was not right. He was able to gain a good number of followers, especially peasants since the greedy lives of the clergy had created a ridge between them. The split between the people and the Church led to founding of Lutheranism. Lutheranism is a major branch of western Christianity that identifies with the teaching of Martin Luther. ]]> 2019-05-13 21:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jampheltenzin/xe8fqxftge03/wish/359676918
