How and why did the major aspects of the Roman Catholic reformation compare to those of the Protestant Reformation?
Answer Catholics * You need to buy indulgences if you don't want to go to purgatory.* You need to confess your sins to the priest.* The blessedness of being poor.* That when you eat the bread and drink the cup that it actually turns into Jesus' body and blood.* The Pope is the head of the church.* The people wouldn't have Bibles.* They tortured people in the inquisition to get them to admit that they were heretics. (Baptized members of the Roman church who disagreed with any official church opinion.)* There are 70 books of the Bible. Services are supposed to be big and elaborate and the priest should dress up in fine clothes.Vs. Protestants * You either go to Heaven or Hell.* Jesus is the high priest. You can tell Jesus that you are sorry for the sins yourself.* God is blessing you if you are rich and that isn't just okay, it is good! (Doesn't say this anywhere in the 95 Thesis just says keep your money for your family)* The cup and the bread are just symbols, so that we can remember what Christ did for us.* Jesus is the head of the church.* You need to read and study your Bible.* Love and peace is what they aimed for, and if you didn't believe what they did, they wouldn't force you.* There are 66 books of the Bible.* Services are supposed to be simple and the pastor is just another believer, no one special.Now there are a few other differences, but these were the main ones back then and most of them are still true today though not all i.e. The inquisition. Answer To answer your question on the Catholic Reformation and compare it to the Protestant Reformation is simplistically as follows given it is a huge and complex subject. It began in response to the Protestant reformation of Martin Luther at the Council of Trent in 1545 (although Pope Leo X had rebutted the 95 Thesis) and basically rejected most of the Protestant claims. One of the main tenants of Martin Luther was Salvation through faith alone the Council of Trent reaffirmed that salvation is achieved through faith and works of that faith (not just by faith as the Martin Luther held) because "faith without works is dead" (Epistle of St. James). In addition it reaffirmed the main systems, religious orders, and doctrine such as the sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist , Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony). Indulgences (much criticised by the Protestant movement), Pilgrimages, the veneration of saints and relics, and the veneration of the Virgin Mary were strongly reaffirmed. Purgatory (purification of the souls) was also endorsed and the reaffirmation of inclusion of books in the Bible not originally in the Hebrew Bible. So what changed? Doctrine was virtually unchanged, the main focus of the reform was on the training of the priests through seminaries, the reforming of the religious orders (and the founding of new ones such as the Jesuits) to improve theological understanding, strengthen the Parishes and combat corruption. Spiritual movements were launched and decrees reigned in the over complication and direction of religious art and music to simplify it and make it and masses more accessible. The Protestant Reformation on the other hand centered most controversially on the practice of selling indulgences and the Church's policy on purgatory. Other beliefs attacked were the devotion to Mary, the intercession of and devotion to the Saints and most of the sacraments. In addition the need for celibacy of its clergy and the authority of the Pope. Almost immediately Martin Luther had launched his 95 thesis the Protestant movement split with Zwingli and Calvin disagreeing on aspects of doctrine with Luther. Over the years thousands of denominations have been founded and the core struggle that Luther had over salvation and forgiveness of sin still divides the Christian community. The Martin Luther 95 thesis is linked below.
How did the Pope try to counter the Reformation?
The Reformation is a process that - althoough creating new movements and churches within Christianity-, refers mainly to what happened inside the Catholic Church. Therefore if we have to ask who was Reformed during the Refomration? the first answer has to be the Catholic Church. This reformation was at first, bnnatually opposed by the Catholic Leadership and these effort to counter these changes were based in three spheres: doctrine : it was established and severly regulated putting the Pope as the maximum arbiter of doctrine in the Catholic Church Creation of Seminars: From then on, Rpiests were going to receive strict education adn discipline within a set of institutions called seminars Restructuring: Spiritual orders such as Dominics and Several others were restructured so they could go back to their roots as monastich orders and not as the veritable oners and landlords that they have turned to. also A strict vigilance of spiritual movements such as Spanish Mistics and the spiritual French School, to make them toe the Papal Line more accurately. All these actions have also been called Counter reform, that is, an effort on the part of the Catholic Church to counteract the influence of the newly minted protestant movements in Europe Especially Lutheranism and Calvinism
