20 Using your notes, draw four pictures on the worksheet representing four different aspects of the Renaissance and how it changed from the Middle Ages.

21 Let s go back in time to 1510 The Roman Empire controlled the Church. The main religion was Roman Catholic. The Pope was at the top of the Roman Catholic Church.

22 In order to raise money, the Roman Catholic Church promised to grant forgiveness for people's sins if they donated money. This practice was called selling "indulgences.

23 What does it mean to sell indulgences? Discussion Question: Do you think selling indulgences is a good way for the church to raise money? Why or why not?

24 Martin Luther began to criticize the Roman Catholic Church for holding too much money and power in Europe, and for selling indulgences. Martin Luther Martin Luther challenged the authority of the Pope and said that the Bible was the only true authority on faith.

the money-box, gain and avarice can be increased,

with which they formerly were wont to fish for

25 Martin Luther nailed a list of his criticisms on the door of the Church. This document is called the "95 Theses". 28. It is certain that when the penny jingles into the money-box, gain and avarice can be increased, but the result of the intercession of the Church is in the power of God alone. 65. Therefore the treasures of the Gospel are nets with which they formerly were wont to fish for men of riches. 66. The treasures of the indulgences are nets with which they now fish for the riches of men.

26 Why did Martin Luther criticize the Catholic Church? What had authority of faith, according to Martin Luther? How did Martin Luther share his criticisms of the Catholic Church?

27 Martin Luther's criticism launched a movement to reform, or change, the Church in the 16 th Century. This movement is known as the Protestant Reformation.

Many parts of Europe became Protestant and reforms were brought

28 As a result of the Reformation, Western Christianity split into two branches: Protestantism and Roman Catholicism. Many parts of Europe became Protestant and reforms were brought to the Catholic Church. Western Christianity Roman Catholicism Protestantism

29 What was the Protestant Reformation? Which new branch of Christianity was formed by the Reformation?

30 The Pope is the head of the Church The bible is the only true authority on faith. The Church can pay for its buildings with money from Indulgences. The Church has become corrupt, or unfair. It has taken power and money. The Church is wrong to sell indulgences. People must communicate with God through a priest.

31 Today we will look at some political cartoons that Martin Luther made to advertise his ideas. A political cartoon is a drawing that tries to show how the author feels about an issue. These cartoons often use irony or satire to make a statement or prove a point.

33 Jesus washes the feet of his disciples. The Pope makes others kiss his feet. Passion of Christ and Anti-Christ

34 A crown of thorns is prepared for Christ. The Pope wears three crowns of gold. Passion of Christ and Anti-Christ
