The 35 minutes class

Do Luther's actions qualify as continuity or revolution? 

If you side with continuity: 

• "Luther said 'he's not changing the questions, he's changing the answer'"- Lily. This means that other people had been wanting restoration of the Church so it would be free of corruption like it was in the early ages. These people had asked questions before him. He is breaking the pattern and putting forth helpful answers to these questions. 

• The idea of a corrupt free Church wasn't new thus it wouldn't be a crazy idea 

If you side with revolution:

• He did put his own twist on it by not accepting all 7 Sacraments as legit and  saying the Pope was not the head of the Church or in Lily's words "the main dude." 

Family Trees 

(jokes) 

Religious one: 

• the Great Schism happens in 1054 and this is the 1st time there's a different Christian faith other than Catholicism !!!
• the main ones (for our purposes) that come after this split are: 

1. Lutheran 

2. Anglican 

3. Calvinism 

Royal one: 

• there's a whole bunch of intertwining roots (get it) (lol). the main ones are:

1. Ferdinand and Isabella (of Spain) 
2. Henry VIII (of England) 
3. Elizabeth (of England) 
4. Charles V (the Holy Roman Emperor)

• another powerful family was the Habsburgs of Austria from which Charles V came. they conquered many lands through marriage and fighting

Saint Teresa of Avila 

• girl power 
• she reformed her convent from low-key partiers and materialists to calm, prayer, and loving people
