Why was the church critized in 1500?
.
"People" in general were NOT dissatisfied with the Catholic Church, as a matter of fact, nearly all of the history of the era points to the fact that people were very unhappy with their rulers making impossible for them to attend the Catholic Church, receive the sacraments they had grown up with, and participate in the various pious activities that Catholics have always been so fond of. In England, people were very unhappy with Henry VIII and his "English Church", please read The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England, 1400-1580, by Eamon Duffy. In Germany, the unhappy Germans had to contend with their princes latching onto Martin Luther's insane philosophy so they didn't have to pay tithes to Rome.

The Protestant Reformation: the revolt from the Catholic Church in Western Europe begun and carried to its height in the 16th century. It differed from all previous heretical movements in that it was not concerned with one or a few definite points of doctrine but was directed against the whole complex and system of Christianity as then understood; it gave licence to the human self in the spiritual and religious order. Its principal causes were: the excessive temporal power, wealth and privilege which accrued to the higher clergy, the wicked, worldly and careless lives of many of the clergy, secular and regular, and the decay of philosophy and theology (these resulted partly from the Renaissance) with consequent low standard of spiritual life among the people generally; the weakening of the authority of the Holy See, following the Great Schism, increased by the humanistic corruption of the papal court; the parallel insurgence of secular princes. Its principal motives were: desire for the purity of religion and godliness of life which, from the state of the clergy, precipitated a violent and unreasoning anti-clericalism which degenerated into contempt for all spiritual authority; the national ambitions of secular princes which flourished in the break-up of the Catholic integrity of Europe; an appetite for spoil and, as in England, fear of having to give up looted ecclesiastical wealth; in some, a hatred of the Church and Faith which can be attributed only to the direct working of the Devil. The principal results of the Reformation were: the true reform of the Church "in head and members" effected by the Council of Trent and the revivification of Catholicism so thoroughly achieved that it remains vital to this day (The Counter-reformation); the putting of countless souls, notably in Great Britain, Scandinavia and the German parts of the Empire, in enmity to the Church and consequently outside those means provided by Christ for man to know and attain to God; the disappearance of any "higher unity" holding together the diverse peoples and nations of Europe, the inoculation of men with naturalistic and humanitarian (as opposed to theocentric) philosophy which is now the chiefest enemy of Christianity.

What are other names for the Church of England?
A church established under the reign of Elizabeth I. Claims that it is just another "branch" of the true Catholic church are unfounded. It was established using protestant texts from Edward VI reign whilst "ordaining" a William Parker (a layman) as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The 2 remaining Catholic bishops in England wouldn't have a bar of it, so they cobbled together 4 worthies of dubious religious qualifications. Two were said to be ex catholic priests who jumped ship for the "new" religion although no records exist of they ever being ordained. The other two were protestant auxiliary bishops from the new religion. This Anglican/Church of England was established as a state church under the Monarchy who was to be the head, whilst Jesus got the job as spiritual director. All so called ordinations to this day stem from this William Parker. Pope Leo xiii in 1896 after a long and independent investigation by 6 interested parties who were give full access to Vatican records declared anglican orders to be "utterly null and void"
The Cathedral of Notre Dame is famous because it was the first structure to be built with flying buttresses, which are masonry bridges that place the main weight of a vault or a roof onto an outer support. The use of the flying buttress allowed the builders of the cathedral to achieve a great height. With its elaborate ornamentation and stained-glass windows, Notre Dame became the model for the Gothic style of architecture, which was popular in northern Europe from the twelfth century until the sixteenth century.

How much did Saint Basil's Cathedral cost?
To begin with, St. Peter's Basilica is not just a church; it represents much more than a building where the people gather to worship. It, like every other church, houses Almighty God in the holy Eucharist. In that aspect it is worth more than an endless amount of worlds and possessions. Ironically, even from a purely worldly prospective, the building it self with it's historical value and artwork are indeed priceless. In other words, the basilica and all it's contents are so precious that there is no amount of money or gold that could take it's place.
