Placher's Essay Analysis

The rise of a new religion is often met with both praise and malice from the hierarchy of the civilization it springs from. The rise of Lutheranism affected all of Western Europe, but it’s most prominent impact was on the peasants and serfs with no where to turn in what is today Germany. As the growth of Lutheranism picked up speed at the beginning of the sixteenth century, peasants from all over the Germanic states turned to Lutheranism in search of salvation and escape from the corruption sweeping the Catholic Church. Lutheranism’s impact stretched far beyond its own boarders, instigating changes within the Catholic Church to combat Lutheranism. Through Lutheranism, the

The Reformation of the Christian faith caused a major change within the Church and was a major 16th century European movement aimed initially at reforming the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. The Reformation ended the unity imposed by medieval Christianity and, in the eyes of many historians, signaled the beginning of the modern era. The Protestantism Reformation was also the schism within Western Christianity initiated by Martin Luther, John Calvin, and other early Protestant Reformers.

Toomey, I only felt that when people grow up they will have self-control to hold their desire for drinking and could decide whether it is appropriate to drink at that moment. I didn’t collect any data or information to support my opinion,

People are born into many of the most common and discriminating social inequalities. The issues our parents face become ours as well.

McMinn (2007) points out that the Christian church has constantly been engrossed in confession, but the way of confession has altered during the past two millennia (p 221). According to the author (2007), numerous Spiritual leaders, such as Saint Augustine and Saint Patrick writing of their confessions of faith and sin have severed as a partial foundation for scholasticism, which is a crusade that attempted to examine faith academically (211-212). As scholasticism grew thought out time it birth the doctrine and sacrament

CHAPTER 3 Driving down Mountaineer Boulevard, Louise was nervous and upset thinking about going to court. Being unsure which would upset her more, listening to her husband’s yelling about her drinking or Judge Lucas’s lectures. Pulling into the parking lot, she glanced at Mike sitting in his car as she parked. Rolling his eyes, he watched as she got out of the car, and walked towards him. Opening the door, she noticed the expression on his face as he backed out of the parking space without saying a word. He never smiled or acknowledged her while driving toward the courthouse. At last, tears rolled down her cheeks, “Mike, I can’t handle this. Please, say something. I can’t take the thought of going to jail and even worse, you won’t talk to me.

Within Yves Congar’s The Meaning of Tradition, he sets out to define the traditions of the Catholic Church. Congar begins his analysis of the role of Tradition in the Catholic Church by defining it; his definition states that Tradition is a gift from God that is passed down subsequent generations. According to Congar the Church’s tradition involves sharing Christ’s revelation, so that God’s revelation can be passed down throughout space and time. Congar devotes sections of his book to the role of magisterium in the Church. The magisterium has a pivotal role in analyzing the doctrines of the faith and providing the people of God with an explanation of its meaning. By doing this, the magisterium is exercising its role as the successors of Jesus’ apostles in guiding the faithful. The Magisterium is essential to ensuring that the faithful create a personal relationship with God. Congar, attributes the magisterium’s role in the Tradition of the Church is guided by the Holy Spirit. According to Congar argues that the Holy Spirit has inspired the Church throughout history. The Holy Spirit also works through the people, giving them the gifts necessary for understanding the word of God. Congar continues to ascribe the Church’s tradition to its familiar atmosphere that allows faith to grow in believers. Congar goes on to state that the Church’s tradition does not stem from Scripture alone, the uniting force of God’s word. Scripture needs to come from an inspired source, alone it can

Right from the time of the apostles and throughout the history of the Christian Church, believers have been engaged in the defence of the Christian faith. This defence is often referred to a an apology (not to be confused with the typical English meaning of a request for forgiveness). This give rise to a branch of study in the Church called Apologetics. This lesson explores the theological basis for apologetics and its relevance for propagation of the Christian faith. This will be done through an exploration of the meaning of apologetics and the method of doing apologetics.

In the seventeenth century, an era unusually full of remarkable intellectuals questioning most aspects of life, the common people also started to question. Prompting this major shift in the docile nature of the people, could have been the realization that the words of the church may not have been all true. "Has the church been saying or doing what will be more beneficial for us to survive and prosper?", one might have asked. Or, is their word the law simply because God is speaking through the pope--regardless of what science says or proves? If people begin to question the authority of
