Life before the Reformation:

life before the reformation was quite different from life after the reformation. there were no bibles before the reformation, and after Luther (Martin Luther- NOT Martin Luther King, don't get them confused) brought about the printing press (particularly Germany was effected by this) and so every member of the public began to be able to read The Bible and understand it in their own ways- there was a type of freedom of belief available that was never experienced with catholics always being told what is right and wrong and what to believe and what not to believe by the catholic church and the interpretation of hte bible by the Pope.

THE RENAISSANCE

the renaissance- the rebirth. one can see a dramatic difference made in lifestyle/society particularly in art and music. if you have time, Google image pre-renaissance art and contrast it to that of renaissance art. the music is also very different too.

as one can see life is very very different before and after these two times. if you would like more information in more detail, please feel free to email me. :)

hope this helps!!

What was a protestant priests life like before the Reformation?

Before the Reformation, there were two Christian religions-the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox. Both had priests as well as bishops and deacons. There was no such thing as Protestant priests before the Reformation. After the Lutheran Church was founded, the word priest was dropped and today in the Lutheran church, they ordain deacons, pastors or elders and in some Lutheran sects, bishops. The Anglican Church after the Reformation, was and is considered a "bridge" between the Roman Catholics and the Calvinists and Lutherans. They ordain deacons, priests and bishops like in the Catholic and Orthodox faiths. The primary difference at the time the Church of England was founded in the 16th century, was the Mass would be spoken in English not Latin.

This questioning of traditional knowledge played a significant role in shaping the intellectual landscape of that time.
