Because he did this without parliaments approval parliament got angry. In the beginning the people used to pay at least 97.6% of ship money but by the time it was 1639 no one really cared and only 20% paid. A man called John Hampden stood up to the king and refused to pay ship money, Hampden was put on a trial and found guilty. But everyone else thought he was a hero. In 1637 the Scottish were told by Charles they had to use a new prayer book for their church but the Scottish didn't want to and got angry so they decided to rebel against him.
RUNNING HEAD: Luther’s 95 Theses Luther’s 95 Theses HIST 101 Western Civilizations Instructor: Dorothy Slane Leslie Brooks October 2, 2011, Thesis In the 95 Thesis Luther is basically discussing his disappointment with the Catholic Church. He did not approve of the way the pope was granting partial remission of time to be spent in purgatory or any other consequences that may be given to the people because of a sin they have committed. The church was basically practicing in the selling of indulgences when they did not have the right to remit and penance for any sin or guilt. That was the sole job of their God and no one else could produce that right or charge for a right that they do not even possess. Luther was also disappointed in man and felt that they should take the consequences that go with their sins and hope that these lessons could be taught to them before it would become too late.
King Henry the 2nd was born March 15th 1133 and became king in 1154 he met the only man he trusted which was Thomas Becket. Thomas Becket was born 21st of December 1118 and was Henrys closest friend he was trusted and Henry gave him the job of being his in 1155 Chancellor. The king had a very bad temper and wanted everyting done his way he was very greedy. In medival times the church had lots of power over rligeon and some of the law. When someone broke the law or commited a crime the pope (the leader of the church) would bring them to the church court.
Upon his return he had gone to the pope and asked the pope to excommunicate the Archbishop of York. To excommunicate someone was to completely exclude them from participation with the Church. This was an extremely serious request on Thomas Becket’s behalf. When Henry had heard of this request he was livid. He was said to have shouted out to a crowd, “Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?” Four knights had heard what Henry shouted and took it to mean that he wanted Becket dead.
Martin Luther, a German monk was born during a time of corruption within the Catholic Church. The Church had upmost power and was highly influential on the adherents. The issues of indulgences, simony and nepotism were becoming major issues and they were pulling the church further away from the true teachings and practices displayed by Jesus. Luther objected to these issues and his protests intensified when a Dominican monk named John Tetzel who quoted “When the money clangs in the box, the souls spring up to heaven”. The Black Death also led to a lack of Christian teachings with uneducated priests and clergy.
President George Washington emphatically stated that,” we should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the promise of profiting by dearly bought experiences.” Many doubted his greatness but his impact on the United States of America remains paramount. Winning the War for American Independence, being the first president and shaping the way the Constitution was written, were all attributes of the “Father Of this Nation”, President George Washington. From his youth he lived by his belief that “Knowledge is Power” and he was not afraid to let the world know that God is an important part of everything we do. He was an advocate for justice and freedom. The little details in his life predicted his behavior in loftier and more difficult situations presented to him.
The church lost the trust and support of the people first because of the effects of the Crusades which resulted in many difficulties and new ideas and then was unable to provide the answers and services that the people expected during the times of famine and plague. Pope Urban II called for the Crusades during his speech at the council of Clermont. He promised the forgiveness of all sins for the warriors, spoke about atrocities committed by the Saracens against Christians and finally, convinced them that they had to take Jerusalem back because it was their holy city. The response by nobles to his exaggerated accounts was overwhelming. They sold their land to finance their journeys; left their manors unmanaged and took up the cause for faith .
They were expected to love up to being saints in the eyes of certain people but rarely ever did. It was a scared reality with bloody drawn out wars, because of the kings and queens clashing. The Charlemagne was one that believed education was very important. He was brought up knowing Latin and Greek, but swords were more important than knowing and education. He was ashamed of his Heracy so he wanted the people to know it well.
They are literally killing their neighbor over a feud which contain no memorable cause. All this is hypocritical enough, but the families takes hypocrisy to the next level. They do this by taking their guns to Church. Their stubbornness to back down from a fight will not allow them to leave their guns at home while they listen to sermons on brotherly love. Beside the protest of Christians, Twain uses Huck’s adventures to illuminate the evils of society.
The problem amounted and became so worse that in 1512, the Council of Seville requested that all their wives should leave their children. Priests took a vow of Poverty, yet in reality; many lived wealthy lives which went against the ideal that Clergymen lived simply. They enjoyed certain privileges, such as exemption from the tithe and papal taxation. Throughout Germany, as clergymen were immune from such hard-hitting taxes that had caused many Germans to
