Thursday, Oct.8/09

Hi all,

Sorry for the late post but Blogger was down at school AGAIN. So frustrating! Here are the answers for the section 5 review questions:

1. Seminary: training school for priests

Baroque: Style of art and music inspired by the Catholic Reformation (exaggerated, asymmetrical)

2. Pope Paul III: established Council of Trent

Ignatius Loyola: founded Society of Jesus (Jesuits – black robes, simple lives, answered to Pope only).

3. What educational opportunities did the Jesuits provide?

A: To learn Roman Catholic theology and philosophy, as well as mathematics,linquistics and many sciences.

4. What new style of art and music was sparked by the Catholic Reformation?

A: Baroque – generally characterized by asymmetry and dramatic exaggeration

5. List any three of the reforms proposed by the Council of Trent. Beside each give the Protestant viewpoint to which it responded.

A:Declared LatinVulgate translation of Bible authoritative: Protestants read translations

Forbade selling of indulgences: Protestants criticized the abused practice.

Declared that no one could achieve salvation by faith alone: Protestants taught justification by faith.

6. Were the Jesuits effective in maintaining the power of Catholicism throughout Europe? Explain specifically why or why not.

A: Sample: The Inquisition back-fired on the Church, further entrenching Protestantism in Europe rather than eradicating it.

A: Sample: They were able to recruit some people to convert to Catholicism, yet they did not halt the spread of Protestantism fully.
