Religion played a central role in medieval Europe, and studying this period unveils the influence of Christianity, monastic orders, and the power of the Catholic Church. The Crusades, the rise of scholasticism, and the clash between secular and ecclesiastical authorities are pivotal events that shaped Europe's religious landscape and had lasting
The influence of religion during the Reformation was a manifestation of the conflict of criticism toward the Catholic Church that shaped the events of the age. Although the peasants were primarily motivated towards economic and political justice, the Reformation introduced the German peasants to independent ideas and generated a movement against the nobility, as well as tying into the countermovement of the German peasant revolts of 1524 and 1525. Instead of seeking refuge in feudal authority, the peasants of Germany reflected religious ideas in their revolution by appealing to God’s authority. As the hold of the church's influence over society declined from the conflict of the Reformation, the leaders of the revolts optimized the growing animosity to generate support for the revolts. Correspondingly, religion expressed the
Education During the Renaissance DBQ During the Renaissance, education was used to study philosophy and to enlighten oneself with the ancient civilizations, but over time it became to be increasingly challenged and twisted. These ideas eventually were viewed to some people as a waste of time. There was greater criticism for education and there was a need for more workers instead of the humanist philosophers. Renaissance education stressed the need to study philosophy.
The Great Schism which caused discontent among people and damaged Christian faith (Duiker, World History, 377), The Renaissance that opened up new growing opportunities for the lower
Response Paper 5: Religious Reform Since the fall of the Roman empire, the Catholic church had a reputation for being stable. This gave people a sense of security and made them believe that whatever the Catholic church did, was what God wanted done. Then, in 1378 the Catholic church had three popes, because its rulers were so despite for power, that neither one of them refused to give up the papacy. This greed slowly trickled down to every level of the Catholic church.
The purpose of this paper is to examine the changes as well as the continuities in religious political power during the medieval period. The early medieval
The Renaissance movement proved that the people of this time period only concerned with their own wellbeing. If you weren’t a straight white male, you were either rejected by society or you were used for one’s own personal benefits whether that was entertainment or to display wealth. The statuses of particular genders and races were obvious; white males at the top, and women and blacks at the bottom to do work for the males. On an even lower scale were homosexuals whom were not welcomed by any means in Europe. Society during the Renaissance era was very self-absorbed and therefore if one was not a heterosexual white male, conditions tended to be worse; women were meant to stay at home and not achieve too much of an education; homosexuals were persecuted because both the people and the government
The Protestant Reformation had a huge impact in all Europe in the sixteen century, but which ones were the factors that lead to it? It is very important to highlight that the European Christianity was falling into a noticeable corruption of its popes and some other high position members. Robbery, and even warriors were among of some factors that took the Cristian Church to a declining path. One of these examples was the Pope Julius II, which one won the nickname “the warrior pope” because he led armies against people. Furthermore, the church was not the only factor promoting this reformation, some other social changes were occurring with the masses in Europe; many of the peasants were being free especially in the western Europe.
For the Catholic Church to remain strong, many changes were needed. A change was needed, else the Church's power and the influence

As you have mentioned in your post, religion and theatre offer similar experience to their audience, and this is the main reason why theatre grew up from religious ceremonies. Both entities have much more similarities in common, rather then differences. An interesting idea that you share is that religion is the why and theatre is the what. Both work together smoothly and answer all the questions that the audience might have. Italian Renaissance Italian Renaissance designers indeed emphasized on the idea that scenic design is as important as acting, if not more significant.
This essay compares the characteristics of Renaissance society and contemporary society. Similarities and differences are noted before discussing issues connecting the two periods. The objective is to obtain a better understanding of how societal elements in each era influence society changes and progress. This research is important because society is at the heart of changes and progress in civilizations. The two time periods involve different historical, cultural and political components, but insightful comparisons can be made.
The ideas of the Protestant reformation of the 1500’s had been in the minds of peasants for years because of the corruption of the Roman Catholic Church. Many people felt the clergy (church members) had taken advantage of the people, by becoming wealthy while the people were poor and hungry. There was also a rising sense of nationalism in Europe, that combined with the anger of the economic and political demands made by the Church, further angered the people. The church was spending money in many ways. The Pope was competing for political power in Italy, and had to fight off invasions from other countries.
Many reformers such as Martin Luther, John Wycliff, and John Calvin played prominent roles in sixteenth-century Europe; they helped to reform Catholic churches and change the Europeans’ ways of thinking. “The Reformation was a rejection of the secular spirit of the Italian Renaissance” is a true statement. The main goal of the religious reformation was to bring back the former beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, which were based off of the bible; this went against the Renaissance ideas. Martin Luther was one of the many important reformers in sixteenth century Europe. Luther helped to completely change the church systems by writing his 95 theses.
The new form of Christianity played a major role during the Renaissance period. As people discover a new way of thinking, they began to question many of the teachings present in medieval Christianity. The new form of Christianity ran by Martin Luther’s was well known by the Protestant Reformation, however; with many Catholics and Protestants wanting a change in the church they campaigned for a shift from the medieval learning and medieval form of Christianity. However, a complete overview of the doctrines was not consented by all within the church. Many Catholics wanted to reform the church from within, but Martin Luther and his follower disagreement of church policies led him to break away from the Catholic Church.
