What impact did the Scientific Revolution have on the Catholic Church?

History

DENIUS [597]2 years ago
4 0
The scientific revolution was the part of the Renaissance, and it is notable for a series of changes in society, education, and knowledge, which resulted in a string of new discoveries and new views on the world. Before the scientific revolution, the Church had the dominance over the learning, dictating who will be able to learn and what; yet, as a result of this period, knowledge and science were more available and widely distributed. Scientists had more democratic ideas about the world and society, which in the end resulted in the more humane views and laws. All of these circumstances weakened the Church and its impact on society.
The discoveries of the revolution questioned some of the preceding pieces of knowledge supported by the Church, most notably the idea that the Sun goes around the Earth. Nicolaus Copernicus was one of the first scientists who proposed heliocentric theory, and people started to realize the Earth revolves around the Sun. This idea challenged religious believes, and the Church was afraid people would lose faith and trust in God. All of this finally resulted in the loss of the Church’s complete dominance and change of some dogmas that were previously preached heavily.
While, of course, people still have faith and believe in God today, these events changed the complete sovereignty that the institution of the Church had previously, as well as some of Christianity's teachings.

(APUSH) What compromises made the union, kept the union, and made the union fall apart?
rodikova [14]
<span>he Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed each territory to decide the issue of slavery on the basis of popular sovereignty. Kansas with slavery would violate the Missouri Compromise, which had kept the Union from falling apart for the last thirty-four years. The long-standing compromise would have to be repealed. Opposition was intense, but ultimately the bill passed in May of 1854. Territory north of the sacred 36°30' line was now open to popular sovereignty. The North was outraged.The political effects of Douglas' bill were enormous. Passage of the bill irrevocably split the Whig Party, one of the two major political parties in the country at the time. Every northern Whig had opposed the bill; almost every southern Whig voted for it. With the emotional issue of slavery involved, there was no way a common ground could be found. Most of the southern Whigs soon were swept into the Democratic Party. Northern Whigs reorganized themselves with other non-slavery interests to become the REPUBLICAN PARTY, the party of Abraham Lincoln. This left the Democratic Party as the sole remaining institution that crossed sectional lines. Animosity between the North and South was again on the rise. The North felt that if the Compromise of 1820 was ignored, the Compromise of 1850 could be ignored as well. Violations of the hated Fugitive Slave Law increased. Trouble was indeed back with a vengeance.</span>
