Reforms made by the Catholic Church

• Counter-Reformation-a response to the PR, a reform movement WITHIN the Catholic church. • In the 1400 s, Girolamo Savonarola preached in Florence that churches should melt down their gold and silver to feed the poor in what was called the Bonfire of Vanities. Savonarola is eventually executed. • Ignatius of Loyola, a former Spanish soldier, founded the Society of Jesus or Jesuits, who focused on spirituality and service. Loyola ran the Jesuits like a military organization, establishing missions, schools and universities. By 1700, the Jesuits operated 769 colleges and universities.

• In 1545, Pope Paul III called the Council of Trent. The council met over the next 18 years, addressing the problems of the Church. • Church leaders build new schools, work to convert Protestants, and develop new orders to put the reforms in place. • The Inquisition, a new CC court begun to counter the Reformation. Protestants, Jews, gypsies, people accused of witchcraft, and others breaking the law were subject to harsh torture and execution, specifically in Spain.

Religious and Social Effects

Nationalism/Creation of independent states and nations. Merchants and rulers want less Church involvement. Separation of church and state as power of church decreases.
