How did the teaching of humanism weaken the power of the Roman Catholic Church?
Humanism promoted a focus on individual reason and critical thinking, encouraging people to question authority including that of the Church. This shift undermined the Church's absolute power by fostering ideas of secularism and human potential. The emphasis on human potential also led to a greater appreciation for secular education and knowledge, further diminishing the Church's monopoly on intellectual authority.

What was the reason that humanism did not spread in England?
Humanism did not spread as widely in England compared to other European countries due to the strong influence of the Protestant Reformation and the established power of the Church of England. The tensions between humanist ideas and religious doctrine, as well as the political and social upheavals during the Reformation period, limited the growth of humanism in England. Additionally, the focus on national identity and traditional values in England may have been a factor in the relatively lesser impact of humanism in the country.
How might the act of simony impact a country's political power and so weaken the Catholic church?
Simony is sacrilege that consists in buying and selling what is spiritual in return for what is temporal. The classic example is Simon Magus (from which simony gets its name) trying to purchase from St. Peter the spiritual power derived from the imposition of hands and the invocation of the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:18). It is illicit by divine law natural law. How it might impact a country's political power and thus weaken the Church's politicalinfluence would depend entirely on the circumstances, and the type of simony involved.

How is humanism different from what people cared about during the Middle Ages?
In the late 1300's early 1400's the church found itself challenged by the men returning from the crusades with new ideas. One of these was Neoplatonic thinking that said man could communicate with God without the church. This idea took all the power away from the church and they did everything they could to hold on to the power they had for a 1000 years. Michelangelo's painting in the Sistine chapel reflects the new thinking with man touching the hand of God. This resulted in a turning away from the divine to the importance of human needs and to humanism that affirms the ability of man to lead ethical lives and to aspire for a greater good without the church telling them they had to do what they were told or else be in sin.
What statement reflects humanism?
