- After the complaints Luther brought up was the church reformed or did the church just try to counter Lutheran attempts at reform
- The Catholic movement (in response to Protestantism) is referred as both the counter and the catholic reformation. The reason why is that it incorporated both efforts to reform the church and to counter the rise of protestantism
- what reasons did Francis I (1515-1547)have to oppose Charles V and support the pope?
- 1) The Concordat of Bologna of 1516 allowed the French king to dominate the Gallican church(choose the bishops he wanted) and obtain needed money from this.so Francis I was motivated strongly by money to support the pope.
- How and why did Francis I try to prevent an ecumenical council from uniting and discussing church corruption?
- Charles V owned so much land that he almost completely surrounded France. by urging the pope to not call an ecumenical council he helped to maintain the political and religious tensions in Germany. This meant germany would have an even more difficult time of uniting (exactly what France wanted)
- Ok Francis I was pretty smart abt trying to prevent German unification but were there any successful attempts at forming an ecumenical council
- In 1545 a council assembled and met in Trent(border of Germany and Italy). It was successful that it finally met. Its meetings were at irreguluar intervals for almost 20 yrs.
- Considering that councils previous to the one at Trent assembled as many as 500 prelates how many do u think attended the council of Trent?
- Stangely enough at this vital council attendance was never near 500 prelates. Sometimes there were as few as 20-30 prelates. At the most important discussion on "justification by faith" brought up by luther there were only 60 prelates present.
