Test get back day

Today in Western Civ. we got our tests back. I think i did quite well for not having any sleep and having three other tests that day.

Last Test

Today in Western Civ, with Sir Robert Shickolas we took or last test. I thought that the test was ok. It was a little bit harder but also easy.

Martin Luther Continued

Today in Western Civ we learned more about Martin Luther. Eventually he was found to be a heretic. He was excommunicated and then fled to Germany where he continued to copy bibles into german. Eventually people continued to accept and continue his practices and then they created Lutheranism.

Martin Luther

Today in Western Civ. with Sir Robert Shickolas we learned and talked about Martin Luther and indulgences. The Church weakened socially- the Renaissance emphasis on the secular and the individual challenge church authority.  The printing press helped.  Politically- some rulers (especially the Germans) began to challenge the church's political power.  Economically- northern merchants resented paying church taxes to Rome.  Some priests drank to excess and many gambled.  The selling of indulgences (pardons) releases a sinner from performing the penalty a priest imposed for sins.  Johann Tetzel was a monk who sold indulgences to help rebuild St. Peters Cathedral.  A monk named Martin Luther objected to this practice.  Martin Luther born in Germany in 1483.  He studies the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric)
