Question

explain how a secular view of the Catholic Church differed from a traditional view of the Catholic Church during the Renaissance.

Answer 1

Explanation:  Although there are some differences in the attitude of the Catholic Church concerning the secular way of thinking, such as, say, abortion and euthanasia, it can be said that the Catholic Church respects the secularist view.  Many historical and social changes have contributed to this, and in order for the Church to remain Catholic, i.e. the Church of All People, it has had to resort to such adjustments and respect for humanism and natural rights and laws. It was this humanism that during the Renaissance was a shock to the Catholic Church, which vehemently resisted the ideas of humanism and put man at the center of interest and daily consideration. The doctrine of the Church at the time was seriously shaken by the fact that Renaissance ideas became part of everyday life.  Church doctrine at that time was based on traditional Divine law and denied and rejected any secularization.

Answer 2

The secular view pointed out the flaw within the Catholic church whereas the traditional view still believed the church could do no wrong
