• As Protestantism spread, the Catholic Church had to reform itself!

• Three goals:

– Clarify teachings

– Correct abuses

– Win people back to Catholicism

• Three strategies:

– The Council of Trent

– Jesuit Schools & Missions

– The Roman Inquisition

We must change ourselves, or else it will

be the end of Catholicism!

Page 6: The Counter-Reformation: The Catholic Church Strikes Back! SWBAT explain how the Catholic Church responded to the Protestant Reformation with the Counter-Reformation.

A major part of the Counter-Reformation was the Council of Trent. The council was a meeting of church leaders that began in Trent, Italy in 1545. Pope Paul III summoned the council to combat corruption in the church and to fight Protestantism. The council continued its work in more than 20 sessions over the next 18 years.

In response to Protestant ideas, the council gave a more precise statement of Catholic teachers. It rejected John Calvin’s idea of predestination, declaring that individuals do have a role to play in deciding the fate of their souls. The council agreed with the Protestants that faith was important and salvation was God’s gift. But it rejected salvation by faith alone. The council insisted that faith, good works, and the sacraments were all necessary for salvation. It reaffirmed Catholic belief in seven sacraments. The council also acknowledged the importance of the Bible. It insisted, however, on the church’s authority to interpret the Bible. It said that the Latin Bible was the only official scripture.

Besides stating Catholic teachings, the council took action to make needed changes in the church. It required better education and training of church leaders. It called for priests and bishops to spend more time preaching. It corrected many of the abuses involving money and church offices. And it set down rules for church services so that they would be more alike everywhere.

The Council of Trent went a long way toward achieving the goals of Pope Paul III. The council’s work brought a higher standard of morality to the church’s leadership. Its statements of Catholic belief and practices helped unify the church. The reformed church was better able to compete with Protestantism for the loyalties of Christians.

The spirit of reform brought new life to the Catholic Church. Many groups helped to spread its reformed message. The most important of these groups was the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits.

The Jesuits were founded by Ignatius of Loyola, a Spanish nobleman. As a young soldier, Ignatius had his leg shattered by a cannonball in a battle. While he was recovering, he read about the lives of saints. He vowed to become “a soldier for Jesus.”

After years of study, Ignatius started the group that became the Jesuits. The Jesuits were dedicated missionaries. They worked to spread Catholicism in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

FUN FACT: Loyola Marymount University was named after St. Ignatius of Loyola. That’s also why LMU’s mascot was named Iggy!

The Catholic Catholic Church also fought the spread of Protestantism by condemning beliefs that it considered to be errors and dealing harshly with those it labeled heretics. It looked to Catholic rulers to support its efforts and to win back lands lost to Protestantism.

To deal with heresies during the Middle Ages, the church had established the Inquisition. This body was made up of churchmen called inquisitors who sought out and tried heretics. Inquisitors could order various punishments, including fines and imprisonment. Sometimes they turned to civil rulers to put heretics to death.

After the Reconquista, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain used the Spanish Inquisition to target Jews and Muslims. With the start of the Protestant Reformation, the Spanish Inquisition also fought against the spread of Protestantism. In Rome, the pope also established a new Inquisition. The Roman Inquisition sought out and condemned people, including churchmen, whose views were considered dangerous. The church also published a list of books that it said offended Catholic faith or morals. Catholic were forbidden to read any of the books on the list.

HW Model Answers

• If I were a leader of the Catholic Church, I would want to attend the Council of Trent because I would be able to help make the Catholic Church better. I would be able to fix corruption in the church. For example, I would ban the selling of indulgences.

• If I were Roman Catholic, I would NOT want to attend the Council of Trent because the meeting would last too long. 18 years is a long time to discuss making the Catholic Church better. I could’ve solved the Catholic Church’s problems in 18 seconds.
