What are going to be some of the effects of the printing press on society?
Where did the Renaissance start? Then it moved to Europe due to trade
and the printing press Famous writers emerged like Erasmus
and More who wrote Utopia Famous painters emerged especially
from the Flemish school
Problems with the church were the pope was more concerned with politics than he was spiritual matters, church officials were more concerned with making money (indulgences), they did not know how to help people get salvation
Important people early were the Christian humanist like Erasmus
Martin Luther nailed the ninety-five theses to the church to complain about the many problems he witnessed. He was excommunicated and made an outlaw
Ulrich Zwingli brought about the idea of abolishing relics and images
John Calvin introduced the idea of predestination
King Henry VIII wanted an annulment but the pope refused
Eventually the Catholic Church realized they had to make changes or lose all their followers
The church leaders came together at the Council of Trent and made changes; no more indulgences, faith and good works for salvation, kept seven sacraments, kept Eucharist, kept clerical celibacy
Copernicus- presented that the universe was heliocentric(sun) not geocentric(earth)
Kepler- proved Copernicus was right Galileo- invented the telescope and proved all
objects fall at the same rate Newton- he discovered the laws of motion and
gravitation Other Ideas that were discovered were calculus
and chemistry, the microscope was invented as well
