Later on he became a priest, and this greatly impacted his life and writing. He went from writing poems which talked about sex, like The Flea, to writing poems strictly about his faith. Gerard Manley Hopkins also wrote about religion in his later poems. Hopkins was born into the Church of England, but in school he had a teacher and mentor named John Henry Newman, who influenced him to convert to Catholicism. After Hopkins’ conversion, his writing became all about his love for God, similar to Donne.
The people conquered by charlemegne , after being converted to christianty, were taught through the bible of codes that taught right and wrong. It was nesscary for the church to play a role in this education of the people, because only the clergy were educated. The church also guided charlemagene’s hand as a ruler, for he took on many conquests and missions so this way the Christian relgion could spread throught Europe. Indeed, his desire and passionate to spread his kingdom and government was interwined with his desire to spread the Christian relgion and have the people live according to the word of god. At that beginning of the caroligian dynasty the church was suffering from problems.
They believed that they are “God’s chosen people”, called by God to build a “city on the hill” in the newfound land. Therefore convinced by the fact that they were on a divine mission to America, the puritans concluded that they needed to convert the uncivilized Native American people to Christianity in order to fulfill their mission. The relative equity of the puritans I believe had stemmed largely from optimistic expectations of the Indians religious and social conversion.
The principal feast day of Saint Joseph in the Catholic Church is March 19, Saint Joseph's Day. The Feast of St. Joseph the Workman (May 1), was introduced by Pope Pius XII in 1955 to counteract May Day, a holiday favored by the left-wing labor movement, socialists, and communists.

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.
Epic of Gilgamesh Alternate Perspective Good morning teachers and students, today I will be presenting Gilgamesh’s real perspective of his adventures. The fluid nature of perspective is derived from the susceptibility of information to varied interpretations. This is explicated in the ‘Epic of Gilgamesh’, where the protagonist’s selflessness and love for Uruk and its people is overlooked due to the rigid expectations of modern society. The incongruities between Gilgamesh’s own perspective and a modern interpretation show that society’s perceptions of a ‘hero’ are highly volatile, relying immensely on the innate subjectivity of perspectives. The aberrant perspective of Gilgamesh which I am presenting may seem divergent and atypical when analysed in accordance to our modern values and principles, but to Gilgamesh this would be quite natural.
DBQ 6: Enlightenment Thinkers and Their Impact on European Rulers The Age of Enlightenment was a time where cultural and intellectual ideas from Western Europe brought reason, analysis, and individualism to the rest of Europe and replaced former traditional authority. The Age of Enlightenment was most frequently known as the Age of Reason because it reformed society from the authority of the church to a society of science and skepticism. The Enlightenment philosophy was promoted by local enlightenment thinkers that stressed liberty, freedom from the church’s authority, and worked to abolish serfdom. A number of the Enlightenment philosophers influenced society by publishing texts. New ideas and beliefs spread through Europe and worldwide and marked a change from only having religious texts to also providing intellectual texts.
This motto was given to them by the Roman Catholic Church. The Templars fought the Crusades not only because they were true knights who followed the old Code of Conduct, but because they also wanted to earn a place in heaven (Nicolle 37).

Famous Thinkers Paper By; Karla M. Young December 18, 2011 PHL/458 David Jung Introduction; Creative thinkers challenge prevailing thoughts, conceptions and ideas in the environments that support them. They analyze, critique, and take apart the social, environmental, political and even religious factors that help comprise dominant or accepted thoughts. For obvious reasons, their ideas, like those who conceived or introduced and outlined those generally accepted create quite a stir. Among some of the most famous thinkers of the twentieth century were Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Daniel C. Dennett. While each of them examined and explored different aspects of society, each thinker’s ideas and conventions intersected religion, Social
