yard, Oct. 6, 1536
Religious (Continued)
Ulrich Zwingli
• Appointed "People's Priest" in 1519
• Zwinglian Protestantism, as well as its spiritual inheritors (the
majority of Protestant churches), overwhelmingly stressed the
divine nature of Christ
• Zwingli's theology and morality were based on a single principle: if
the Old or New Testament did not say something explicitly and
literally, then no Christian should believe or practice it
Religious (Continued)
John Calvin
• Calvinism
• Institutes of the Christian Religion was published in 1536
• Geneva adopted religious reform in May 1536
• Placed great importance on sermons-logical and learned
• Ecclesiastical Ordinances: no bishops and all ministers were

look after the spiritual welfare of the people
Religious (Continued)
St. Ignatius Loyola
• Wrote his famous "Spiritual Exercises" after seeing visions from God and
other Catholic Saints
• Founded the Society of Jesus; vowed to travel to Jerusalem and preach
the Gospel to the Muslims
• The Jesuits' Goals:
o renewal of the Roman Catholic Church through extensive
education and the encouragement of frequent use of the
sacraments
o extensive missionary work in non-Christian countries
o a suitable response to the growing challenge of Protestantism
Artistic
Reformation
• Calvin and Zwingli encouraged iconoclastic movement
o iconoclasm: the deliberate destruction within a culture of
the culture's own religious icons and other symbols or
monuments, usually for religious or political motives
• Due to the idea that all of life can bring glory to God,
Protestants depicted all areas of life in their art.
• Protestant artists focused on more secular subjects:
landscapes, history painting, portraits, and still life.
Counter-Reformation
• As a result of the Council of Trent, art in Southern Europe was
regulated so as to maintain strictly religious content
• Catholics only painted religious symbols and depictions

nudity, not showing Christ seated or bearded,
and including the pagan figure of Charon.
Scipione Pulzone's Lamentation,
a typical Counter-Reformation work
Technological
Printing Press
• The establishment of the printing press played a key role in
mobilizing the Reformation.
• Martin Luther recognized the power of printing to mobilize the
grass roots support for Reformation.
• Luther used the printing press to mass produce Scriptures and
Reformation publications.
• The printing press was later used in the Counter-Reformation as a
means of spreading their beliefs and mass publication.
Economic
Reformation
• Shift from Mediterranean to Atlantic
• money markets, sophistication of business, division of West and
East agriculture, economically dominant cities, rural industry,
population shift, silver
• Calvinism helped promote the development of capitalism in
Europe
Counter-Reformation
• Some responded to the "faith not works" challenge of the
Protestants by finding a new vocation in social justice.
• Vincent de Paul and Francis de Sales were intensely
devoted to caring for the poor, founding orders with that
mission at a time when an emerging capitalist economy was
adding to the social wreckage.
• The capitalist society was not beneficial to all.
• It was a time of increasing poverty and homelessness in the face of
growing wealth and power for the elite.
Social
Reformation
• religion was not a matter of personal preference or opinion,
it was the very basis of society.
• Religious uniformity was essential for social stability.
• The Peasants War, which began in 1524, is a response to
Luther's urgings of democratic reform and a reaction to an
unbalanced social system.
• As spouses and mothers, women brought the ideas of the
Reformation to the families of the aristocracy and the
common people.
Counter-Reformation
• Women were allowed to choose their paths: mystical
devotion or social service
• Prostitution became popular because it was a declaration of
a woman's independence
• Witch-hunting
