The Protestant Reformation
9th Grade Social StudiesFall 2011 Unit 3
Martin Luther began a movement to reform
the practices of the Catholic Church that he believed were wrong. Reformation leaders did not intend to destroy Christian unity but rather redefine it.
Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Anglicanism produced a dramatically new religious map.
Catholic revival, and new tools such as the powerful Jesuit order, preserved much of territory for Catholicism, but it could not stem division.
The result was a period of confusion and considerable conflict, including concern
about witchcraft.

Counter-Reformation Terms
The Catholic Church had gained political
power, wealth, and began to focus on more worldly concerns .
Common criticisms included financial corruption, abuse of power, immorality and heavy taxation.
Above all, the selling of indulgences sparked widespread criticism from Martin Luther.
1. How did abuses in the church spark widespread criticism?
Martin Luther challenged the basic beliefs of
the Catholic Church in his 95 Theses. Luther believed faith alone was needed for
salvation and rejected good deeds. He believed Jesus was the true leader of the
Church and denied the pope's authority. Finally, Luther thought that the only source of
religious truth was the Bible.
2. How did Martin Luther challenge Catholic authority and teachings?
Calvin held similar beliefs to Luther on
salvation by faith alone and that the only source of religious truth was the Bible.
He believed that predestination determined one's afterlife and it could not be changed by one's actions.
He established a theocracy, where the government was run by church leaders.
3. What role did John Calvin play in the Reformation?
Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church for
political reasons. After the pope refused to annul his marriage to
Catherine, Henry declared himself the head of the Church and denied papal authority.
After his death, England faced religious fighting under Protestant King Edward VI and Catholic Queen Mary.
Finally, Queen Elizabeth created a compromise between Protestants and Catholics, which restored peace.
