Did the Catholic Reformation
Succeed?
• Rome was more moral than before
• Some areas were returned to Catholic control
• But Europe was still divided
• Catholics in the south
• Protestants in the north
Something Both Catholics and
Protestants Shared: Persecuting others
• Each group targets another
• Catholics v. Protestants BUT ALSO
• Catholics and Protestants v. radicals
(Anabaptists) or non Christians (witch
hunts, Jewish ghettos)
• Witch Hunts
• Women and men usually on the
fringes of society
• Beggars, poor widows, herbalists etc
• Tens of thousands killed
• Most in German states
Persecution Cont…
• Treatment of Jews
• Had prospered during Renaissance – employed in various trades
• 1516 Venice orders Jewish people into ghettos the rest of Italy
soon follows
• ML called for Jewish people to be expelled from Christian nations,
and to burn their books and synagogues
• Some German princes required them to wear yellow badges or
some other kind of distinguishing clothing
• 1550 Charles V bans Jewish migration to Spanish colonies in
America
• As a result many Jewish people move to Poland-Lithuania and
the Ottoman Empire where they are allowed to live in relative
peace for a time
Exit Slip

think that the Protestant Reformation would have occurred?
