Catholicism in the 1400s

people could buy in exchange for reducing a soul’s time in purgatory.• Purgatory = a place for souls who
have to work off their sins before being admitted to heaven

the church• People saw themselves as citizens
of a nation rather than members of a church.

people are born.• Humans have no control over their final fate.• Calvinists have strict laws• Amusements such as feasting, dancing,
singing, and wearing jewelry are forbidden
Romans 9: 14-16
• 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”[a] 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.
