- They soon learned that what the church did and what the bible said didn’t match up.

In the Renaissance, some high officials of the Church were more concerned with worldly power and luxury than spiritual matters of the people. Many bishops and cardinals wanted to live like princes, so they built their own palazzi, or palaces. Pope Sixtus IV and Pope Julius II reasoned that if wealthy merchants lived in splendor, then why should the head of the Church settle for anything less? Some Christians began to question such reasoning. “Has the Church always been this way?” they asked. To find answers, scholars turned to the Bible and the writings of early Church leaders. These texts were written mostly in Greek. Since the Renaissance had popularized the study of classical Greek, many Biblical scholars were prepared to plunge into the early Greek texts of the New Testament. In these texts they rediscovered a Christianity unconcerned with worldly power and material goods. In the gospel of Matthew, they read Christ’s caution: “No one can serve two masters…. You cannot serve God and mammon”—that is, you cannot be devoted to both God and money. The Renaissance scholars also read about how early Church leaders made personal sacrifices and cared for the sick and the needy. The humility and charity described in ancient texts seemed worlds away from the Renaissance clergy’s grasping for wealth and power. More and more people began to talk about the need for churchmen to change their ways. Their voices grew louder in 1513 when Julius II died and a new pope, Leo X, took office.

The EU is a partnership consisting of over 37 republican countries in Europe.
just olya [345]

This statement is FALSE.

The European Union is constituted by 28 member states, and not all of them are republics. For example, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands are constitutional monarchies.

It is not a partnership but a form of supranational integration. The level of integration is not as deep as the one that can be found in a federal country like the US. Its member states have established a common market, free movement of people and goods, a common currency, common foreign policy and even certain levels of political integration. Many other aspects such as the fiscal policy, are decided at the state level and the EU has no authority over them.

Different regions developed different traditions and cultures.

Explanation:

This is because some parts of Japan were on Islands or perhaps even hindered by mountains. With no other influence, they often developed their own traditions. ofc now and later they could travel and the like, but I assume this is in regard to older Japan.
