WORLD HISTORY: UNIT 3: LESSON 25 ASSIGNMENT The Beliefs of John Calvin and Ignatius of Loyola John Calvin was born in France in 1509. He studied in Paris for his priesthood. John Calvin was a very influential figure during the protestant Reformation. His belief system was later called Calvinism.

Out of the defining principals I have studied, i feel that 3 of these are particularly distinctive to Catholic Education. One of these is that all Catholic Education is Christocentric. This means that the education and vision is centred on Christ. The aims of schools are to teach children to live the way Jesus wanted us to and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ are used as an example of how to live. It is about ‘being called to build communities of unconditional love and service modelled on Jesus’ spirit of sacrifice’.
Socorro Valladares World History Unit 3: Lesson 25 Assignment 12/06/2011 Beliefs of John Calvin and Ignatius of Loyola John Calvin was an influential figure during the Protestant Reformation, as well as one of the fathers of the Reformed branch of Protestant Christianity. Born in 1509 to an upper-class family, he spent his adolescent years studying for the priesthood. In 1528, he studied law and philosophy in Paris and Orleans, where he later grasped Theology and Greek studies. While in Orleans, he was exposed to the works of Martin Luther. Between 1528 and 1533 he experienced “sudden conversion” and grasped Protestantism.
The account by Fulcher of Chartres shows more of a religious approach where the Pope opens his speech by saying what should be the characteristics of a person to be close to God and not face his wrath, “I hoped to find you as faithful and as zealous in the service of God as I had supposed you to be.” At this point of the speech the audience does not know the purpose of this talk. Pope Urban II continues his advice to public of how to go on the right path of Christianity mentioning topics like hireling and simony. From this part of the speech one can tell that for the audience religion was a serious matter which people would go to war for. Analyzing this account it seems as the Pope knows how he can approach the public and basically persuade them into this crusade. People who would stay behind would be considered as outlaws or nor passionate
In its essence, scholasticism held that God gave man the ability to understand the world both through Divine Revelation (aka, the almighty Bible), and through use of human reason and observation. A very important scholar was Thomas Aquinas, a Dominician priest who taught at the University of Paris. He was a key shaper of Christian theology, who argued that while God’s greatest axioms were in the Bible, Christians must additionally study nature, since nature too was the work of God. Aquinas blended philosophy and theology and his writings became fundamental texts for Catholic theology, and opened up Christianity to the methods of logic and science. Of course, to introduce and intertwine science with Christian doctrines was a very minute process; for it was key that God and the Bible remained the ultimate sources of truth and they were virtually untouchable.
Most Franciscans are members of Roman Catholic religious orders. They were founded by St. Francis of Assisi. The most striking group was the Order of Friars Minor, or commonly called simply "The Franciscans." Their role model was Saint Francis; they sought to follow his path and manner of life. This Order is a religious order of men marking their origin to Francis of Assisi.
Leo Dehon Leo Dehon was a very important person that made a huge contribution to the Catholic Church. Without Leo Dehon the Church would be extremely different. Leo Dehon founded the Sacred Heart in 1877. The Sacred Heart was a guide for christen living and an apostle of social justice. Men wanting to become priests would come Priests would come and learn at the Sacred Heart.
He was able to utilize the previous autocrats’ work as a springboard for his reign to complete the act of emancipating the serfs. Other motives for emancipation stemmed from the religious ideologies held by Alexander II. Striving for a “common good”, Christian charity, and equality were all factors that contributed to Alexander II’s push to emancipate the serfs. Religious ideology permeates the language used by Alexander II in his emancipation edict and speeches. This use of language reflects the deeply held religious convictions that he held and used as inspiration for many of his decisions.
The Catholic Church encouraged it. In response to the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Church thought the art should show religious themes directly and emotionally. The aristocracy
St. Thomas Aquinas defined sacraments to be signs of a sacred reality. Again, this also coincides with the squirrel’s idea of what could be considered sacramental. The same would go for the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defined sacraments to be efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The squirrel finds God given life in what it came back holding.
