The Counter Reformation




As the Protestants gained popularity, reformers finally
convinced the pope that the church was in dire need of
reform
In the 1530’s the Catholic Church started an effort known
as the Counter-Reformation, in an attempt to return the
church to more spiritual ways and to stop the spread of
Protestantism
Pope Paul III brought the Inquisition to Rome to punish
heretics
Pope Paul IV established the Index of Forbidden Books,
because the books were regarded as harmful to faith and
morals they were banned to all Catholics
Device used in the Roman
Inquisition

The Council of Trent




Being that church authorities often disagreed about certain
matters, Paul III summoned church leaders to the Italian
city of Trent
{The Council of Trent clarified the Catholic church’s
position on issues such as the importance of ceremonies}
{The Council eliminated the sale of indulgences, tightened
the discipline within the clergy and emphasized the need
for priests in the church}
The decisions made by the council were effective for many
within the Catholic church. They found the ceremonies
comforting, the ornate churches moving, they respected
the authority of the priests and they wanted to believe a
person could gain salvation through good deeds

{To further strengthen support, the Catholic church formed
new religious orders such as the Society of Jesus or the
Jesuits.}
Ignatius de Loyola founded the Jesuits in 1534. Its
followers took vows of chastity, poverty and obedience to
the pope
The Jesuits became the most effective agents in
spreading Catholicism
They stressed education and founded some of the best
colleges in Europe. They combined humanist values with
Catholic doctrine
Their preaching slowed the spread of Protestantism in
France, Germany and Poland

Results of the Religious Upheaval




This period of time between 1530’s – the mid 1600’s was a
time of devastating religious wars. When the wars ended
the results of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation
could be seen
{The main result of the two Reformations was the creation
of many different churches in Europe and less religious
tolerance}
{Another was a stronger interest in education which both
the Protestants and Catholics used to win support}
{Finally the Reformations led to increased power of the
governments and a decrease in power of religious
leaders}
