1. The Reformation : Medieval Church “The Church (in 1500) was in rude
& lively health…Feast days were celebrated, fasts solemnly observed, images venerated, prayers for the dead recited…”
“Church teachings were graphically represented in the liturgy, reiterated in sermons, enacted in Miracle plays, painted on walls, screens, bench-ends & windows of parish churches”.
Eamon Duffy in The Stripping of the Altars

1. The Reformation : Visible Display Pope Nicholas V (1447-53) : “ A popular faith sustained only on doctrines
will never be anything but feeble & vacillating. But if the Authority of the Holy See were visibly displayed in majestic buildings, imperishable memorials & witnesses seemingly planted by the hand of God Himself, belief will grow & strengthen like a tradition from one generation to another & all the world will accept & revere it.”

rebuilding St Peter’s employing Bernini, Branante, Botticelli, Ghirlanaio, Raphael, Michelangelo etc
Financed partly by sale of Indulgences ( led by John Tetzel) & 2150 Papal posts

![Page 11: The History of the Church 3: Reformation & Counter ...btckstorage.blob.core.windows.net/site158/Sundry... · Battle of Lepanto (1571) The Holy League (inc Spain, Venice, Papal States)](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042212/5eb4e5ddb995a909ad2bbcba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. The Reformation : Indulgences
“Place your penny on the drum, The pearly gates open & in strolls mum” - Tetzel
An Indulgence releases the individual fully or partially from the temporal punishment due to sin
Indulgences given for donations – not for contrition for sins
Even for sins not yet committed!
![Page 12: The History of the Church 3: Reformation & Counter ...btckstorage.blob.core.windows.net/site158/Sundry... · Battle of Lepanto (1571) The Holy League (inc Spain, Venice, Papal States)](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042212/5eb4e5ddb995a909ad2bbcba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

1. The Reformation : Martin Luther : Key Teachings
“The righteous shall live by faith” (St Paul) Salvation is the pure gift of God’s grace – achieved only
by individual faith in Christ “Every act aimed at attracting God’s favour is a sin” Only God can forgive – indulgences are meaningless Only 3 sacraments based on scripture : Baptism,
Confession & the Eucharist (but not the sacrifice of the Mass)
Scripture is the only authority – the Papacy is the Antichrist
![Page 14: The History of the Church 3: Reformation & Counter ...btckstorage.blob.core.windows.net/site158/Sundry... · Battle of Lepanto (1571) The Holy League (inc Spain, Venice, Papal States)](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042212/5eb4e5ddb995a909ad2bbcba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

2. Counter-Reformation : The Eucharist
The Synoptic Gospels (Mat26-28; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20) & Paul's 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 : "This is my body … this is my blood.“
Catholic & Orthodox traditional teaching (confirmed at 4th Lateran (1215) : the substance of the bread & wine literally / really changes into the substance of Jesus’ body & blood (Transubstantiation)
Luther : Sacramental Union ie the bread & wine remain but are united with the body & blood of Christ
Zwingli : a memorial only, symbolic
