Text of the page (random words):
rotestant relations refers to the social political and theological relations and dialogue between roman catholic christians and protestant christians this relationship began in the 16th century with the beginning of the reformation and thereby protestantism a number of factors contributed to the protestant reformation namely disagreement on the nature of salvation and by extension a number of doctrines including the sale of indulgences and more these disputes led to a schism whereby protestants chose to split from the roman catholic church though often still defining themselves as catholic churches and resulted in the council of trent 1545 1563 which clarified the catholic approach to protestantism from then on declaring all forms of protestantism heretical a series of significant events followed which divided europe and culminated in a number of states transitioning from catholicism to protestantism as their state religion however many remained catholic and some areas reverted to the catholic religion as a result of the counter reformation much of the schism and the events it caused can be categorised as violent and tumultuous the work of the second vatican council in the early 1960s recommended terms such as separated brethren to foster a greater emphasis on christian unity theological disputes edit catholic protestant theological dissent was birthed in 1517 with the posting of martin luther s ninety five theses which outline ninety five objections against catholic doctrine these included distinction between clergy and laity the catholic church s monopoly on scriptural interpretation the sale of indulgences the nature of salvation and more 3 salvation edit luther s understanding of salvation was one of the radical departures from catholic dogma luther highlighted that christian salvation was a free gift from god which led him to criticise the sale of indulgences as a means by which one can attain heaven he stressed the importance of a faith oriented process of salvation distinct from his view of the catholic works oriented salvation this also led to a shift in the understanding of grace 3 this protestant doctrine is known as sola fide faith alone 4 see also predestination in calvinism french attorney john calvin developed the reformed theology of salvation while luther maintained that salvation was available to all calvin introduced the doctrine of predestination based on the idea of human s sin enslaved will and salvation being the sole work of god not man calvin insisted that certain individuals were predestined for heaven and others were not 5 authority edit a significant foundation for both parties doctrines is the nature of their authority the protestant positions consists in either holding scripture to be the sole foundation of christian doctrine as with e g lutheranism or holding that scripture is the primary source of christian doctrine as with e g anglicanism and methodism 6 7 8 9 10 this has led to heavy criticism of the catholic church s position which places scripture on par with sacred tradition with catholics considering both as divinely revealed and binding 10 history edit 16th century the

protestantism v t e the 16th century began the reformation which resulted in the formation of protestantism as a distinct entity to catholicism in response the catholic church began its own reformation process known as the counter reformation which culminated in the council of trent this council was responsible for several practical changes and doctrinal clarifications 11 in spite of this the two parties remained notably dissimilar after years of the spread of martin luther s ideas protestants submitted their statement of belief at the diet of augsburg 1530 12 in 1540 pope paul iii approved the order of the society of jesus or jesuits which was created largely to combat protestantism 13 the regensburg reconciliation 1541 was a failed attempt by catholics and lutheran protestants to reunite 12 the traditionally roman nations of france spain and italy endured the roman inquisitions as of 1542 the inquisitions were aimed at all those considered heretical by the catholic church but predominately targeted protestants as it was the most prominent technically the church itself never executed heretics as canon law forbade the shedding of blood rather heretics were handed over to civil authorities for punishment 14 disputes between the catholic emperor of germany and the princes thereof resulted in the schmalkaldic war 1547 protestants were defeated but later on protestantism became legally recognised as a valid religion 12 in 1555 the peace of augsburg allowed catholics and lutherans to follow the faith of their ruler regardless of what that may be within germany 15 france edit see also st bartholomew s day massacre the reformation in france took on a unique flavour which lacked the public state and church support found elsewhere in europe the first french protestants were subject to persecution in the form of death or exile from 1562 conflict raged between the protestant huguenots and catholics in 1589 protestant henry iv succeeded the throne raising the hopes of french protestants however any reforms he may have intended to make were shattered by an alliance between french catholics and the king of spain who forced him to convert the 1598 edict of nantes gave huguenots the right to practice freely while retaining catholicism as the nation s official religion 16 netherlands edit see also martyrs of gorkum beeldenstorm and geuzen the netherlands was quick to embrace the reformation and soon assumed a protestant identity though it faced opposition by its ruling power spain the dutch independence movement dispelled with

the post reformation diocese included the relic of a pre reformation saint in its seal all of scandinavia ultimately adopted lutheranism over the course of the 16th century as the monarchs of denmark who also ruled norway and iceland and sweden who also ruled finland converted to that faith sweden edit main article reformation in sweden in sweden the reformation was spearheaded by gustav vasa elected king in 1523 with major contributions by olaus petri a swedish clergyman friction with the pope over the latter s interference in swedish ecclesiastical affairs led to the discontinuance of any official connection between sweden and the papacy since 1523 four years later at the diet of västerås the king succeeded in forcing the diet to accept his dominion over the national church the king was given possession of all church property church appointments required royal approval the clergy were subject to the civil law and the pure word of god was to be preached in the churches and taught in the schools effectively granting official sanction to lutheran ideas the apostolic succession was retained in sweden during the reformation the adoption of lutheranism was also one of the main reasons for the eruption of the dacke war a peasants uprising in småland in 2016 pope francis traveled to lund sweden where he took part in the celebration given for the upcoming of the 500th anniversary of the reformation 17 the next year the press of the vatican released a stamp to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the reformation the stamp depicts luther and melanchton kneeling before a crucified jesus 18 19 denmark edit under the reign of frederick i 1523 33 denmark remained officially catholic 20 frederick initially pledged to persecute lutherans 21 yet he quickly adopted

frederick forbade papal investiture of bishops in denmark and in 1527 ordered fees from new bishops be paid to the crown making frederick the head of the church of denmark 20 frederick s son christian was openly lutheran which prevented his election to the throne upon his father s death in 1536 following his victory in the count s war he became king as christian iii and continued the reformation of the state church with assistance from johannes bugenhagen by the copenhagen recess of october 1536 the authority of the catholic bishops was terminated 22 iceland edit main article icelandic
