Question

Which was not a cause of the Protestant Reformation? Question 11 options: A.the Renaissance spirit of questioning authority B.sale of indulgences C.Council of Trent

Answer 1

If I'm remembering correctly, the Protestant Reformation was a direct challenge to the Catholic church during the Renaissance.  The Renaissance spirit of questioning authority (A) WAS a cause.  During this time period, the Renaissance, people were beginning to think for themselves about the traditions they had followed for centuries--including the Catholic church.

The sale of indulgences (B) was also a cause: people were unhappy that the Catholic church was making money by selling forgiveness of your sins.  That's just not right!  It drove many people away from Catholicism.

I believe the Council of Trent (C) was a RESPONSE to the Protestant Reformation, where Catholicism was looked at a little more closely.  The council was very much against the Protestant Reformation.  This option is an effect, not a cause.

Answer: C

Answer 2

Council of Trent was not a cause of the Protestant Reformation.

Further Explanations:

The Council of Trent’s was referred to as the ecumenical councils of the Catholic Church that was provoked by the Protestant reformation and led to the embodiment of the “Counter Reformation”. The council issued the key statement that clarified the teachings of the Church including scriptures, Original Sins, salvation, Justification and veneration of saints. It just served as the reformer of the Church and can also be considered as the consequence of the Protestant movement.

The Protestant Movement was the direct challenge to the Catholic Church during the Renaissance period. The period created the spirit of questioning the Church authority that they were following since ancient times. The sense questioning arose due to the decrease in faith for the church. The church was charging  money in return for the forgiveness of sins.
