The main arguments of the reformers come from a free and personal interpretation of the Bible.
The Protestants noticed the excesses of Catholic traditions. Martin Luther (1483-1546) in Germany and Jean Calvin (1509-1564) in France rejected the authority of the Church, which defines itself as the sole interpreter of the divine faith.
The pillars of Protestantism are expressed by the solae:
- The Bible is the supreme authority.
- Salvation is obtained by faith alone
Salvation is not the result of effort or merit.
- Jesus is the only mediator between men and God (rejection of papal authority)
- God is the only one to worship.
Luther found among some German princes support and protection to divulge his ideas. They also harbored grudges against the pope and the high clergy. Luther undertook to translate the Bible into German and the Reformation spread among the German principalities.
In England, Henry VIII proclaims himself "Supreme Head of the Church and Clergy" and breaks all diplomatic relations with Rome. In this situation of weakness of the Catholic Church, the Reform is spreading in Europe

<em>Basically the text is explaining that the way Americans level of skill made them unequaled to the rest of the world (mind, that is not a fact because there was a large share of well-working people in the world in this time) . Also it explains that American brain and ability to construct (why is this entire article just bragging about Americans being so much better when that's not 100% true?) was one of the most economic boosting things and they were very productive for that timeframe.</em>
<em>That's my best understanding of the article. (Scholastic really likes to brag about Americans, huh?)</em>
