"As our Father being drawn away from the Supremacy of Rome by schmismatical and heretical councils and advisors, who, we pray advised him more or flattered him than you, good Mr. Father, when you were Bishop of Rochester? And then, you Mr. Bonner, when you were Archdeacon? And you Mr. Tuberville? Nay, further...who was more an advisor to our Father than your great Stephen Gardiner, when he lived?...Was it not you and such like advisors that...stirred up our Sister against us and other of her subjects? Whereas you would frighten us by telling how emperors...have owned the Bishop of Rome's authority. It was contrary in the beginning, for our Saviour Christ paid His tribute unto Caesar, as the chief superior; which shows your Romish supremacy is usurped...We give you, therefore, warning, that for the future, we hear no more of this kind, lest you provoke us to execute those penalties enacted for the punishing of our resisters, which out of our clemency we have foreborne."

"Finally, the Great Artisan [God] mandated that this creature (man) who would receive nothing proper to himself shall have joint possession of whatever nature had been given to any other creature.

You, with no limit or no bound, may choose for yourself the limits and bounds of your nature. We have placed you at the world's center so that you may survey everything else in the world...[W]ith free choice and dignity, you may fashion yourself into whatever form you choose. To you is granted the power of degrading yourself into the lower forms of life, the beasts, and to you is granted the power, contained in your intellect and judgment, to be reborn into the higher forms, the divine.' Imagine! The great generosity of God! To man it is allowed to be whatever he chooses to be!"

Dialogue: Pope Julius Locked Out of Heaven; Desiderius Erasmus JULIUS: What's the trouble here? Won't the gates open? I believe the lock has been changed.

JULIUS: Why, this is the only one I've ever used! I've never seen what good the other one was. GENIUS: Meanwhile we're locked out. JULIUS: I'm losing my temper. I'm going to beat on the gate.

"If anyone says that a man's justification before God is not increased by his good works, let him be cursed... In order that Christians may receive the sacraments with greater devotion, this holy council commands that bishops and priests should first explain the purpose and use of the sacrament in a way that the congregation can understand, using the native tongue of the people if it is necessary... It is to be desired that all who become bishops should understand what portions of their income should be devoted to their own maintenance and to comprehend that they are called to the office of bishop not for riches or luxury, but to the labors and cares for the glory of God." Decrees of The Council of Trent, Roman Catholic council, 1545-1563 The Council of Trent 1. excommunicated Martin Luther but recognized the Protestant religion as legitimate 2. insisted that the Catholic Church was the final arbiter in all matters of faith. 3. reconciled Protestants and Catholics but not Calvinists 4. produced the Treaty of Augsburg ending all religious wars in central Europe

The Pope has neither the will nor the power to remit any penalties except those, which has imposed by his own authority, or by that of the canons. Every true Christian, whether living or dead, has a share in all the benefits of Christ and the Church, given by God, even without letters of pardon. Again, why does not the Pope, whose riches are at this day more ample than those of the wealthiest of the wealthy, build the single Basilica of St. Peter with his own money rather than with that of poor believers?

3. Correct! Luther believed that salvation came from faith alone, while the Catholic Church promoted the understanding that one could earn their way into heaven through good deeds

"I wish, then, that this Courtier of ours should be nobly born and of gentle race; because it is far less unseemly for one of ignoble birth to fail in worthy deeds, than for one of noble birth, who, if he strays from the path of his predecessors, stains his family name, and not only fails to achieve but loses what has been achieved already; for noble birth is like a bright lamp that manifests and makes visible good and evil deeds, and kindles and stimulates to virtue both by fear of shame and by hope of praise. And since this splendor of nobility does not illumine the deeds of the humbly born, they lack that stimulus and fear of shame, nor do they feel any obligation to advance beyond what their predecessors have done; while to the nobly born it seems a reproach not to reach at least the goal set them by their ancestors. And thus it nearly always happens that both in the profession of arms and in other worthy pursuits the most famous of men have been of noble birth, because nature has implanted in everything that hidden seed which give a certain force and quality of its own essence to all things that are derived from it, and makes them like itself..." - Baldesar Castiglione from The Book of the Courtier based upon court life of the duke of Urbino (Italy) 1504-1524 Castiglione's discussion in the passage above clearly shows the influence of which of the following trends in fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in Europe? 1.

Who can deny but it is repugnant to nature, that the blind shall be appointed to lead and conduct such as do see? That the weak, the sick, and impotent persons shall nourish and keep the whole and strong? And finally, that the foolish, mad, and frenetic shall govern the discreet, and give counsel to such as be sober of mind? And such be all women, compared unto man in bearing of authority. For their sight in civil regiment is but blindness; their strength, weakness; their counsel, foolishness; and judgment, frenzy, if it be rightly considered. Nature, I say, does paint them forth to be weak, frail, impatient, feeble, and foolish; and experience has declared them to be inconstant, variable, cruel, lacking the spirit of counsel and regiment. And these notable faults have men in all ages espied in that kind, for the which not only they have removed women from rule and authority, but also some have thought that men subject to the counsel or empire of their wives were unworthy of public office. For thus writes Aristotle, in the second of his Politics. What difference shall we put, says he, whether that women bear authority, or the husbands that obey the empire of their wives, be appointed to be magistrates? For what ensues the one, must needs follow the other: to wit, injustice, confusion, and disorder.....What would this writer (I pray you) have said to that realm or nation, where a woman sits crowned in Parliament amongst the midst of men?" John Knox, Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions, 1558 The excerpt provides evidence to support the argument that 1. Renaissance humanist ideas were extended to women as well as men and led to advances in women's education. 2. rural and urban households worked as units, with men and women engaged in separate but complementary tasks. 3. the general competence displayed by the few European female heads of state inspired legal changes to the English and Austrian constitutions. 4. the Renaissance and Reformation movements raised debates about female roles in the family, society, and church.
