Slide 2 Slide 3 Priests themselves got upset with what they saw
as corruption of the teachings of the bible People could only read
the bibles under church supervision Slide 4 In order to keep power
the Church kept making more and more rules Spain kicked all
non-Christians out completely Set up courts where people had to
prove their faith or face extreme punishments Slide 5 Basically a
religious court The Goal is to Save people from going against the
church Used torture frequently to get people to go along with them
and their goals All it took to get sent to the inquisition is to
have one person accuse you Inquisition was not to find truth, but
to get people to confess their guilt Slide 6 If you did not confess
you could be burned at the stake This was all done in the name of
god Slide 7 Slide 8 The church became increasingly interested in
getting rich The pope spent TONS of money on his own entertainment
The church needed more then donations They came up with new ways of
making money, like charging for baptisms! Slide 9 Slide 10 Priests
made quite a bit of money and did not have to pay taxes Church made
money by letting people pay to be priests This leads to some
priests not knowing very much about the bible Slide 11 The church
added the concept of Purgatory (not in the bible) Taught that when
you died you went to an in-between place to work off sin before
going to heaven The church then sold Indulgences, passes to shorten
your time in Purgatory People see this as tickets to heaven
