The Catholics may have been angry with the church but their church got reform and that’s what they wanted. The Catholic Church had no choice but to sale indulgence that was the pope’s orders and back in that time the Catholics followed the pope. The Catholic Church spent their money on unnecessary things. The church didn’t think wisely, but all of that changed because Martin Luther reformed the church and John Calvin helped. The pope lead the church and decided a person gets into heaven, but William Tyndale believes that if you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savoir then you’ll get into heaven, and I believe the same things as Tyndale, you shouldn’t have to prove yourself to the pope that you deserve to go to heaven and the pope shouldn’t get to decide.
27) He named his cousin, Leo IX, pope in 1049 and his legacy is highlighted by a few things: one being the issue of simony, his goal being to purify the church from being influenced by money; and he also took on the task of surrounding himself with "reform-minded" people and gave them permanent positions within the church. By doing these things, Leo sets a precedent for what the papacy's role will be during this time period -- namely one of revolutionary
Turmoil Between Powers: The Investiture Conflict Traditions shaped the views of both powers of authority in the Middle Ages which resulted in the retorts carried out between Pope Gregory VII and Emperor Henry IV; ultimately leading to the Investiture Conflict. Pope Gregory VII was a cleric of Rome and slowly rose in the heirarchy of the papacy. He was appointed Pope by Leo IX in 1073 and sought to carry out the reform of the church under papal, rather than imperial, control (Hunt 348). From the start, power and religion held equal weight in Gregory’s mind and were the driving forces of his efforts towards reformation. Pope Gregory VII knew that many Europeans wanted the church to reform itself because of the problems they saw

How far does the evidence of sources 1, 2 and 3 suggest that the early sixteenth century church exploited people’s religious faith to increase its own wealth? Explain your answer, using the evidence of sources 1, 2 and 3. The 3 sources all differ in the extent to which they suggest that during the sixteenth century the church exploited people’s religious faith to increase its own wealth. Source one agrees with this idea, which we immediately deduce because we are told the writer of the source, Anti- cleric, Simon Fish, attacks the church in his pamphlet making us conclude that the source will be from biased viewpoint, against the church. By describing the priests as ‘ravenous wolves’, suggests hatred towards the church, and due to how bold and vivid this description is, implies really negative connotations of how severe the exploitation was.
The first group of documents shows the intellectual thought behind the creation of the revolutionary calendar and the reasons for its adoption. A report of grievances in 1789, shows how the though of the calendar came to be. The document asks for the number of religious holidays to be reduced and uses disadvantages of idleness as an excuse (Document 1). Gilbert Romme, head of the calendar reform committee, speaks of the cons of the Church calendar. In his speech before the National Convention, he claims the Church calendar to debase nations and persuades people that a new calendar is a must for every Frenchman.
Pope Urban II sought out to strengthen the church via reform. At the time, the church was a large part of society. The reform was aimed at papal empowerment and purification of the clergy involving a new process for the election of new popes and attacking vices such as clerical marriage and the buying and selling of ecclesiastical offices. [5] The idea of reform began with Pope Gregory VII as he strived to unite the Latin and Greek churches. However, Pope Gregory VII died leaving the office to Pope Urban II who then took over the reformation process.
It was a period of intense rebellions such as the Wyatt’s rebellion, or factional fighting in court for example; Edward’s court was ridden with the visions of the dukes of Northumberland (John Dudley) and Somerset (Edward Seymour). But perhaps the most fundamental division of the mid Tudor crisis was thrown up by the reformation of the church and Mary’s brutal Counter Reformation. This leads me on to talk about one of the largest perceived problems at the start of Elizabeth’s reign. Henry VIII reigned against the background of the dramatic upheaval of the English church known as the Reformation. This is when the authority of the Roman Catholic Church led by the pope was rejected by those known as Protestants.
Although he supported the antipapal policies of King Henry VIII, Gardiner rejected the Protestant doctrine and ultimately backed the severe Roman Catholicism of Queen Mary I. Bishop Latimer- Hugh Latimer was a Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, and Bishop of Worcester before the Reformation, and later Church of England chaplain to King Edward VI.

Consanguinity- Consanguinity is the property of being from the same kinship as another person. In that aspect, consanguinity is the quality of being descended from the same ancestor as another
Telling them that whatever they do in the name of the holy land and church will be overlooked by God. This sent the crusaders to a new level of warfare as children were killed, women were raped, and land was set on fire. Although Feudalism led to some type of order and civility, it was all controlled by the Pope and the Church. As Papal power increased, Pope Gregory IV led Western Europe into the 4th Crusade during the High Middle Ages (c.1000-1300). The aftermath of the crusade left Islam and Catholic at a peaceful treaty and trade began.
