How interest in ancient texts led to demands for Church reform

The Protestant Reformation began as an attempt to reform the Roman Catholic Church, carried out by Western European Catholics who opposed what they perceived as false doctrines and ecclesiastic malpractice — especially the teaching and the sale of indulgences or the abuses thereof, and simony, the selling and buying of clerical offices — that the reformers saw as evidence of the systemic corruption of the Church's Roman hierarchy, which included the Pope. Both issues were dealt with in an altogether different manner by the Roman Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation.

Purgatory is the condition or process of purification or temporary punishment in which, it is believed, the souls of those who die in a state of grace are made ready for Heaven. They do not go to heaven directly!

The sale of indulgences was used to raise money to pay for the building of the Cistine Chapel in Rome. Martin Luther had a big problem with this (among other things that he wished to correct about the Church of Rome) and so he posted (nailed) the 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg in order to start a 'conversation' with other religious authorities.

Do you think the united states was justified in supporting military efforts in places like Chile and Angola?

tia_tia [17]

The political support extended by US in supporting Chile and Angola were significant.

Explanation:

It was during the Chilean civil war, US backed Chile' president but the British were supporting the congressional forces in Chile. It was after the American independence, that America began to exert great influence on the domestic affairs of Chile and even in the military efforts of the war and thus causing pressure to the British forces to leave Chile. The influence of the United States of America in both the economic and the political arenas of Chile has gradually increased over two centuries and continues to be significant.

U.S. assistance through the International Military Education and Training program finances professional military education opportunities at United States military education institutions. US is justified in supporting Chile and Angola, as they are the small nations which claimed independence and America is said to issue seventy three percent of Military support to the world nations.
