England lost. Money is another reason Charles I was having problems with Parliament. On the coast people had to pay something called ship taxes for the country to build ships etc for war.

Caitlin L. Stephens Dr. Bryan Morgan Philosophy 1301 16 October 2011 John Locke and Religious Toleration As Locke once said: “Let us now consider what a church is. A church, then, I take to be a voluntary society of men, joining themselves together of their own accord in order to the public worshipping of God in such manner as they judge acceptable to Him, and effectual to the salvation of their souls “(Locke). The issue of religious toleration was of widespread interest in Europe in the 17th century. The Reformation had split Europe into competing religious camps, and this provoked civil wars and massive religious persecutions. The Dutch Republic, where Locke spent time, had been founded as a secular state which would allow religious differences.
This Theses was addressed to Pope Leo X, who was building St Peter’s. Luther was angered about this and made his opinion in the Theses that if the pope could open the doors of purgatory for people who paid, why could he not open them for all people.Luther published other scriptures against the sale of indulgences, his letter to Albrecht of Mainz and the explanation of the 95 Theses. His initial writings were catalysts in the course of the reformation, it was Luther’s anger and bravery that began the Reformation. Luther continued to publish impactful works, in 1520 he released To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation, where Luther outlined the doctrine of the Priesthood of all believers and denied the authority of the Pope to interpret, or confirm interpretation of the Bible, On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church, and On the Freedom of a Christian. These publications all became influential as they were able to spread around Germany through the German printing press and were allowing people to form their own opinions of the church rather than being told by the church what to believe.
Gods Jury shows what happened in the past during the inquisition and the protestants reformation. The inquisition was something that was started by the pope in 1231 and this was first which was started to get rid of heretics, eventually the spanish inquisition was started because of the protestant reformation. In the 16th century the protestant reformation was started unofficially it wasn't until Martin Luther posted the 95 theses. this officially sparked the start of the protestant reformation. With this spark there was a rise of many other protestant religions such as Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anglicanism, and etc.
Martin Luther Stance against Indulgences Martin Luther did not set out to alter the world. As a young man, he came up against some techniques that the Church was utilizing that did not agree in his conscious, and he searched for answers that were biblical. Martin Luther was a German Augustinian friar, a pioneer of the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, and also the son of a miner. He lived during a period where the Catholic Church ruled the land, he had a strong desire for the restoration of truth in the Church and a passion for the salvation. Luther saw countless of advanced developments sweep across Western Europe, some changes sparked by his words.
This was because the war had been fought on German soil, causing them to lose money in agriculture; also the trade routes had shifted. In 1648, they found peace, although the Holy Roman Empire was still marred. Another cause that attributed to the fall of the Holy Roman Empire was the religious reformations and religious wars. In the 16th century, calls for reformation began because criticism of the church was so widespread. In 1517 when Martin Luther posted the “Ninety-Five-Theses,” he started a chain reaction.
learning to read and write in Latin and his native German. This was before the widespread availability of books, therefore peasants could not actually read the Bible, so the clergy were their only source of Scripture. Luther saw firsthand the corruption of the Church, and came to believe it was his restlessly duty to protest.

As the ideas spread, peasants began to see for themselves just how corrupt the Church was, and how they were being oppressed from their own religion.
He was invited to Geneva to build the new Reformed church and due to Calvin's efforts completely changed the face of Protestantism, for he straightly addressed issues that early Reformers didn't know how or didn't want to answer. His most significant work includes the organization of
This put the Catholic Church at odds with them over the sale of indulgences, that allowed the Church to forgive sins and promises to limit the times the person would spend in purgatory after death. Germany was known for religious reform in the fourteenth and fifteenth century, these movements made changes to how we worship today. “Luther was concerned as early as 1516 that his parishioners were induced to be complacent about true contrition for their sin if they purchased indulgences that promised forgiveness for a price. Then in 1517 the sale of a special jubilee indulgence was promoted by Pope Leo X ostensibly to pay for the building of a new St. Peter’s basilica. Behind the scenes, half of the money raised would repay the bankers of Augsburg for the
