Why was the Catholic Church threatened by the new discoveries the scientific revolution

History
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago
3 0

One of the most pervasive, anti-Catholic interpretations of history is the notion that the Church opposed science. Yes, Galileo was condemned to house arrest for his heliocentric theory; but that was the extent of ‘persecution’ of science in the Early Modern period.

In reality, the Church participated in the scientific revolution through its universities and also patronized scientific research. For example, the Gregorian calendar was developed because the Vatican supported astronomical observations to accurately calculate the length of a year. Many scientists in the Early modern period were priests who made notable contributions. Two names that come to mind are Pierre Gassendi and Lazzaro Spallanzani. Pope Benedict XIV went so far as to patronize women scientists, a fairly radical measure for his time.

The perception that the Church “opposed science” is based on the false premise that religion and science are opposed; that if believers had their eyes opened to authentic science, they would reject faith. In the Catholic worldview, faith and scientific laws have the same origin: God. Neither are opposed to each other. They simply deal with different types of knowledge.

How did enclosures contribute to the development of the Industrial Revolution?
hram777 [196]
<span><span><span>he Enclosure Acts were one factor. These were a series of Parliamentary Acts, the majority of which were passed between 1750 and 1860; through the Acts, open fields and “wastes” were closed to use by the peasantry. Open fields were large agricultural areas to which a village population had certain rights of access and which they tended to divide into narrow strips for cultivation. The wastes were unproductive areas — for example, fens, marshes, rocky land, or moors — to which the peasantry had traditional and collective rights of access in order to pasture animals, harvest meadow grass, fish, collect firewood, or otherwise benefit. Rural laborers who lived on the margin depended on open fields and the wastes to fend off starvation. “Enclosure” refers to the consolidation of land, usually for the stated purpose of making it more productive. The British Enclosure Acts removed the prior rights of local people to rural land they had often used for generations. As compensation, the displaced people were commonly offered alternative land of smaller scope and inferior quality, sometimes with no access to water or wood. The lands seized by the acts were then consolidated into individual and privately owned farms, with large, politically connected farmers receiving the best land. Often, small landowners could not afford the legal and other associated costs of enclosure and so were forced out.
