Counter Reformation
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Counter Reformation | The Catholic Church’s Response to the Protestant Reformation The Church had two tactics: Reform the Church from Within Stop the Spread of Protestantism |
The Council of Trent (1545-1563) | Purpose: The Church held three meetings to discuss reform AND define dogma (official teachings) But many teachings were not changed, and were instead reinforced; the ideas of the Protestants were rejected |
The Inquisition Why? | General purpose was to discover heretics (mostly Jews and Muslims, but also Protestants), reinforce Catholic doctrine, and prove the power of the Church |
The Inquisition When? | 1400s-1800s |
The Inquisition Where? | Mostly Spain and Italy Different variations took place across Europe, but it was most notorious in Spain. Ironic! (These places were strongholds of Catholicism) |
The Inquisition How? | The accused were put on trial and were guilty until proven innocent… Torture was used to elicit confessions |
