Protestant reformation timeline

Indulgences were a piece of paper that the Catholic churches sold, they were said to forgive one's sins and lower time spent before going to heaven. I believe this was an effect because it affects people's thinking they thought that if they bought them they would immediately win a spot in heaven. This was economic because only the rich could afford it while the poor could not so they did not have that advantage.

Inquisition was a group of institution within the catholic church, there goal was to combat heresy, they were known for killing and torturing jews and muslims. The reason for the combat was because heretics were subversives and a threat to the social order. I think this was social for that reason. I also think this is a cause because they were killing lots of people.

The printing press was a machine that helped produce works of literature which was an easier way and more time friendly because it was able to get them out quickly. It was also accessible to anyone. This was political and social because people were able to start thinking for themselves and and the political power began to change with peoples social ideology. I also think this was a cause because the printing press caused people to get their work around faster.

Humanism is an approach to life which is based on reasoning and common humanity that recognize moral values. It is also faith that humans can live happily without religion. This values the welfare of human beings more than beliefs. I think this is social and political because this is what brought down the reign of church, I also think this is an effect.

Martin Luther is the creator of the "95 these". The cause for him going against the church was because he found out that it was corrupt, there was not enough spiritualism and the things he believed were not real. The effect was that the church was against him and were after him, they allowed people to kill him with no punishment. I think he was both social and political because he ended up making a change in Europe and showing what the church has been doing. He also built his own church.

This is the document Martin Luther wrote because he was not on board with all the indulgences being sold. He talked about his opinion, beliefs and practices of the catholic church. He was against the church. He passed the 95 theses all around europe so everyone can find out the truth. The cause was the church and the effect was being targeted. I think this is economic and social because it caused the church to lose money and it switched everyone's perspectives.

Leo X was the head of the christian church, temporal ruler of the Papal states, and head of the Medici family that ruled the florentine republic. He was known for his habits, activities and his quote "Since god has given us the papacy, let us enjoy it". I believe this is political because of the power he had. He struggled gaining political power but when Holy roman emperor Maximilian I died he was more in the political area. I think this was a cause, which led him to having this power.

The diet of the worm is where someone could only eat worms for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They were not allowed to eat anything else besides worms. Martin Luther had to do this diet because of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, so he would give up his ideas but Martin Luther did not give them up. This was an effect because they made him eat worms to get information. I think this is political because they basically tortured him by forcing him to eat worms.

Henry was a conservative catholic and was critical of lutheranism and reform. He supported Catholicism and the pope. He got the throne after his father's death in 1509. He was known for having 6 wives, he sent 2 of them to their deaths at the executors block at the tower of london. This is political and effect because eventually henry ended up creating the protestant church of England and broke roman catholic faith this was a political dispute.

Jesuist is a religious community of clerics of political rights for catholic men. Jesuits was founded by the approval of Pope Paul lll. This was known for education on theology, missionary work and publishing. They were also very strong in human rights and social justice. I think this is social because they helped people learn about some things and taught them how to be aware of human rights. I also think this is effect because they helped people learn.

The Council of Trent was known as a catholic reply to the doctrinal challenges of the Protestant Reformation. It was in order to define the catholic doctrine and make decreases on self reform, and this helped revitalize the roman catholic church in protestant expansion. I think this is social and political because it challenged people's faith. And I also think it was a cause because it challenged the protestant faith.

The peace of Augsburg was a treaty between Charles V, Holy roman emperor and the Schmalkaldic League. This ended conflict between the Roman catholics and Lutherans in Germany. I think this was an effect because they ended the conflict between those two. I believe this was social and political because them not fighting probably had a good impact on their people.

John Calvin was mainly known for his influential institutes of the christian religion. He established theocracy in Geneva by 1540, Geneva became home to protant exiles from England, Scotland and France, who then later on came home and spread it. Out of all the protest sects Calvin was the most militant and uncompromising. I think this can be both cause and effect because people followed his new religion. I think this was political because he was like a leader.

It was a massacre ordered by the king to murder a group of Huguenot leaders around Paris, France. The estimated deaths are 2000 to 7000 according to the roman catholic apologist and duc de sully. This massacre marked a turning point in the french wars of religion. This was a politically motivated act and i think this was an effect because of the Huguenot leaders deaths.

Catholics saw Elizabeth as an illegitimate child and rejected her legitimacy regarding the throne. She held strong protestant views and oversaw the protestantism in England. Some catholics tried to plot an assassination against Elizabeth and failed, they wanted to put Mary Stuart in the throne so elizabeth executed her. Elizabeth was one of the greatest european rulers in european history. This is political because she was a politician who navigated ground between anglicanism and protestantism.

The Edict of Nantes was signed by King Henry lV which guaranteed freedom and religious toleration to the group of Huguenots. Its intention was to end religious civil wars between french catholics and protestants. This was political because of the religious and political freedom of Huguenots. I also think this was a cause because it caused to help end religious wars in france.
