...During 1500-1600 the church had many roles in the lives of the people and in the government. The church ran everything in return made it very powerful and controlling. Since the church was so powerful and controlling, people had faith in it and were willing to devote time and money to the church. Throughout the Renaissance the power of the church began to decline rapidly. Although the role of the church changed throughout the Renaissance it was the base to everything in this time period, such as art, literature, poetry, science, and philosophy. Art was being controlled by the church during and before the Italian Renaissance. Every piece of art had to go through the church and be approved. A lot of the art from the 16th century has the bible or something religious in it because the church was controlling the art. As the church began to lose power, the style of art began...

...earthquake that struck Lisbon Portugal on November 1, All Saints Day, 1755 left 15,000 dead, the city destroyed and the faith of thousands of Christians in jeopardy. The resulting blaze that torched the city for a week afterwards acts as a symbol for the catalyst of the intellectual crisis that resulted. More than a thousand years of faith was called into question as intellectuals searched for a superior explanation for the disaster other than it playing a small role in Gods plan. The disaster opened the door for openly questioning God’s role in the natural world allowing for the growth of new ideas and the rejection of old and antiquated ones. In the end the earthquake in Lisbon presented such an intellectual crisis because it forced Philosophes and Theologians alike to question their own faith as well as the core beliefs that society was built upon. The sheer destruction of the event placed Theologians on the defensive as they attempted to rationalize the event while pushing Philosophes ever further from the core views of the church. While every disaster is a tragedy, the Lisbon earthquake sparked an intellectual crisis because of the disturbing nature of its destruction and the time period in which it happened. Occurring on All Saints Day 1755, disaster struck during the beginning of the Intellectual revolution, a period during the 18th century marked by a conviction in the “expanding literate sector that the human condition could be improve through science, education, philosophy, economic...

...religion stand out throughout history. However, according to J. Michael Allen and James B. Allen in World History from 1500, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, religion was exceptionally important, because it had a great influence on everything from government to social order and family relationships (16). Hundreds of years may separate these two time periods and the modern world, but the same positive effects of religion such as unity, security, and a social order are still basic ideals in today’s world. This is also true for the negative effects such as the conflicts that result in war and bloodshed, the separation of social classes, and the corruption throughout the church, especially the recent sex scandal in the Catholic church. In order to appreciate the impacts of religion during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the positive and negative effects of this era must be understood. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, religion gave people a sense of belonging. Belonging to a church was important during this time because it gave people a sense of security and support. This was important because it made it much easier to deal with everyday problems and issues. For instance, diseases and death were extremely common during this time period, because of the lack of medicine and technology. So, religion played an extremely important role in giving people a “guiding light” to pray for support, health, and help. People also had a sense of spiritual protection...

...these two groups. There were beliefs that separated Protestants from each other, but most of them began their beliefs protesting against Catholicism. Protestants were not developed in America. For Protestants,"Europe was the original scene of operations. The opening event was a movement that today goes by the name of Protestant Reformation."(Nuesner, 1994, p37) Catholic groups have their own reformations but for Protestants this was the beginning of their journey. The Reformation began because there were many leaders who did felt, Catholics were operating in immoral ways. Actually, Protestantism was a branch of western Christianity, the branch that opposed the Pope. Many people were concerned with trying to revise the ways of teaching the Church. Many Protestants shared most of the same belief as most Catholics. Since there were many different divisions of Protestants it is difficult to refer to Protestants as a whole, who agreed or disagreed with Catholics. Therefore, when comparing...

...Hunter Tierney Pope Francis: Why He Leads The Way He Leads Book Report 9/22/15 This book was very influential and made many points that carried a tremendous amount of weight. Having been the first literature I have read about the Pope, I am truly amazed with the amount of change he has been able to impose on the Catholic Church. When thinking of Catholicism I envision centuries of practices that have not changed but when it comes to Pope Francis he envisions change and is acting on it. After reading this book I truly believe that he is going to be the change that the Catholic Church needs and that he will be able to have a positive impact not only on the followers of the Catholic Church but all people on our Earth. What I found to be most intriguing about the book was the amount of examples it was able to include regarding the various aspects of leadership and what makes an effective leader in today’s world. These aspects were carried with the Pope from his entire Jesuit journey that was laid out in the 1500’s by Ignatius of Loyola. I found the back-story of Ignatius of Loyola’s creation of the Jesuit order of priests to be very intriguing. Ignatius of Loyola was one of the many examples that strengthened this books representation of how Pope Francis’s leadership traits translate into other walks of life. He demonstrates such positive attributes that can be utilized by people across the world. I found the most powerful part of the book to be the description of the Pope’s...

...sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, after the successful Protestant Reformation of the early 1500s. Rome called forth a physical change of the Catholic Church in response, and years later, the Calvinist churches (the Dutch Reformed Church) in the Netherlands called for a complete physical change of their structure as well. As a direct response to the Protestant movement that had turned successful, the Catholic Church met three times over nearly twenty years from 1545 until 1563 in what was called the Council of Trent. The Church decided to elicit an emotional response from current Catholics, as well as Catholics turned Protestants, with the hope of rejuvenating the foundations and population of the Church. Pope Paul III helped the council to redefine Catholic doctrine, as well as redefining the role of the clergy, which was deemed essential to the Church’s system of faith. During the sporadic meetings of the council, Pope Paul III commissioned artists and architects to create paintings and redesign buildings that would remind Catholics of the grandeur of their faith. The outcome needed by the Church was for its members to walk into the redesigned buildings, covered with divine paintings, and feel that Jesus was there to guide them, to bring them to their knees and pray for forgiveness or guidance from the Holy Father. The Baroque arts became a marketing ploy made by the Church in its resurgence to power in European society. Many churches and cathedrals were built to...

...DEFINING THE MODERN WORD The early modern era is said to have been between the years 1500 and 1800. It's held to have begun during the Late Renaissance period and ended about the time industrialization changed the face of the world. It was an amazing time of scientific discovery, an age of exploration and a time where the very boundaries of knowledge were expanded since the end of the Roman Empire. One of the first things a student of the time is struck by is how similar the arguments at the dawn of this age are with the ones faced by contemporary people. Before analyzing that, it may be a good idea to get an idea of what the world was like, how people thought and what the hopes and dreams of the people of the time were. To do this, we first need to understand how that Europe came to be. The Black Death was the pivotal event of the High Middle Ages. In the span of a few short years the entire face of Europe changed. The plague began with the end of the Medieval Warm Period, which ran from the tenth century to the fourteenth. This shift to colder weather in Europe leads to widespread famine and years of uncertainty. Up until this time, Europe had enjoyed a rising population as well as a rising standard of living. People will increase their population to the limit of their food production. When people can no longer expand food production, then a day of reckoning will occur. Most good arable farmland was under cultivation and most of the marginal farmland was cultivated...

...Puritanism was a unique religion formed by people who no longer believed in the Church of England; it was established during the 1500’s, lasting until around the 1600’s, and was found in Massachusetts. Although the religion is no longer practiced, some pure values of the Puritans have found their way into current life. People who practiced Puritanism took their religion very seriously- they lived everyday trying to please god so they could make for certain they would get into heaven, and they knew the Bible word for word (Kizer). While these extremities are not necessarily still observed today, one is still able see their other core values such as hard work, self-improvement, and self-reliance in today’s current age. Puritanism was religion...

...Meredith Masters 3/10/16 Block 7, LA4 Research Paper Word Count: 565 What is drama? Medieval drama was theater. Drama did not come about until the later part of the medieval time. It took the stage as one of the main forms of entertainment around 900 and fell through after the decline in the 1500’s. Plays did make a comeback, and are still popular to this day. There are no performances today that are associated with the plays from back then. After the fall of the Roman Empire, nomadic bands traveled whether or not there was an audience. They were a combination of jesters, jugglers, storytellers and other performers. Later, when festivals came about, other entertainers were given the chance to showcase their talents. Since the Catholic Church was so powerful, it overpowered such performances and the entertainers were then converted. Actors was their new title. Plays were performed in churches until around 1200, when they were also performed outside on occasion. At the end of the 14th century, churches had less and less control over plays. Towns took over and put on shows that the churches did not. Medieval Drama was very popular during this time, as it was, for a lack of better words, their form of entertainment. The types of plays that were performed during this time were morality, miracle, and mystery plays. Morality plays are didactic allegories often of a common man’s struggle for salvation. Miracle plays are about the lives of saints. They are also historical...

...Macbeth Research Report: Shakespeare’s World May 12, 2015 Social: Roles of men and women: Women and men had completely different roles in society. Men were the heads of the families; they supported the family and were expected to be obeyed by women. On the other hand, all Elizabethan women were expected to be married and to give birth, and they had to depend on their husbands. Noble women were usually tutored at home from the age of 5 or younger to learn Latin, Greek, French, music, and dance. However, they were not allowed to go to universities. The middle class and low class women were not that fortunate; they were not allowed education and they had to learn house duties. Unmarried women were often suspected to be witches. Political: Roles of the church and state: There were 2 main religions in England, Catholicism and Protestantism. The monarchs decided the legal religion, and everyone had to believe in that religion; if not, people could be punished, tortured, and executed. People generally believed in Catholic in the early 1500s, but during the Renaissance period, Protestantism was widely spread. Queen Elizabeth’s father, Henry VIII, was opposed to Roman Catholic because he wasn’t allowed to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon. In 1534, he passed an act which made him the Supreme Head of the Church of England and required all the priests to be loyal to the monarch, not Rome. Queen Elizabeth’s sister, Queen Mary I, believed in Catholic. She ordered the burning and...

...Time of the Dark Ages *************** Devry University Time of the Dark Ages The Dark Ages as a term has endured many evolutions. This time was referred to the Dark Ages because among all citizens, Europe went from having absolute leaders into adopting the Roman law system. The expression of the “Dark Ages” came into play during the 17th century when many enlightenment writers convinced that they were much greater to their ancestors and began using this term to scorn an era that they found to be very difficult to survive in. The Dark Ages can be referred to the entire time of the Middle Ages from 500-1500 A.D. or mostly for the early Middle Ages from 500-1000 A.D (Curtis, 1992) (O'Sullivan, 2012). It is also commonly referred to the period of time that accompanied the fall of the Western Roman Empire. When the Western Roman Empire was destroyed, unknowingly many people were going to begin to engage in a practice and experience devastating changes in their lives. Fewer career opportunities, literacy, and education were just the beginning of the fall. Cities then became smaller in size because the Roman Empire wasn’t able to provide the Roman tax revenues to maintain the services. Society inadvertently prepared to emerge in modernity through the preservation of classical literature and scripture. Over time education and literacy was mostly offered to the ministry. Christianity itself remained to spread East throughout the lands. During this time, most of the old...
