adding to what durkhanai said Martin Luther dedicated himself to monastic life. His efforts were to do good work to please god ,and to serve others through prayer for their souls.It seemed that the more he tried to do for God, the more aware he became of his sinfulness.

Jenifer contreras
adding to what durkhanai and jagmeet said, not just serving good work to please god but Luther defined and reintroduced the principle of the proper distinction between Law and Gospel. Overall, Luther believed that the way people where treated was unfair and unexceptable, so he wrote the 95 thesis statement.-Marc Zaman

adding to what Durkhanai,Jagmeet, and Latoya said Martin Luther was a remarkable man. He was very opinonated which led to him questioning the traditional laws of the church. As we learned from the movie and as Latoya stated he reformed churches. He defied church rules that he believed was unfair to the people. An example was an unproper burial for those who've commited sucide. He believed no matter the way you died Christ was all loving and merciful and will accept you in the gates of heaven and you deserve a proper burial. Martin Luther made countless contributions to the church including more fair and equal treatment for the people by changing the rules. He also contributed to the people by translating the bible from latin to German so the people was able to understand it and read it. Martin Luther was also a very educated man and attended school and taught. He was trully a Renaissance man because he brought about new beliefs and made changes for improvement.~Shivani

In addition to what durkhanai said about Matin Luther...I think he was not only made a difference during the renaissance but also made a difference in the years after. The bible for one thing wouldnt have had any meaning because wouldnt really know what it meant. Thats why it was so important for him to educate the people because education is passed down by generation. Imagine our life without it.
-Andrea
Adding to what Kerri said about Wolfgang Fabricius Capito, he was a very good educated man for the medical profession but he also studied law. Wolfgang have joined the Benedictines and was taught for some time at Freiburg. For three years, he was a pastor in Bruchsal and was then called in to the Cathedral church of Basel. In 1519, he removed to Mainz at the request of Albrecht, and became archbishop of that city. He also had a Doctorate in Theology –Linsa M.

Adding to what Krystle said, Gabriel Biel was a priest who had deep roots in nominalism. Nominalism is said to be the opposite of realism, the idea that the entire universe exists inside of the mind, and places great emphasis on ones imagination. Biel
was a professor of theology. In his later years he joined a religios fraternity. The nominalist doctrines he produced gave influence to Martin Luther, who used his same form.
The Borgias
The borgias were an italian family who had a spanish origin. They were brilliant but also evil, treacherous. Alfonso Borgia became Pope Callistus 3 in 1455. Rodrigo was talented, and a wise patron of the arts.

The Protestant Reformation was a time of great religious movement and change through out the church system aiming to make Christianity better. In about 1500 many Europeans, including Martin Luther and Wycliffe began calling for a reformation to change the way in which Church teachings were being prevailed to the public along with the practicing of Christianity.
During this time Pope Leo X was trying to raise money to rebuild ST. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, selling indulgences, which were certificates that freed the people from their sins and cleared their consciences of all their wrong doings. This in turn meant all the rich people through out Europe were given “free passes to heaven.” However its massive profits Martin Luther a German monk spoke up against it. He along with others preached against the selling and purchasing of Indulgences lecturing his congregation that it was adding corruption to Christianity. Harold Ramsawmy
Adding to what Tiffany and Larry said about Girolamo Savonarola (1452-1498), he was very religious so when he became the ruler of Florence, he changed many rule that he felt were wrong. One of the rules he changed was the penalty of sodomy from a fine to a capital act. Another thing he did to that effect, was to have the famous “Bonfire of the Vanities” in which items throughout Florence were collected and burned. Items such as mirrors, cosmetics, lewd pictures, pagan books, gaming tables, fine dresses, etc. This event took place in the Piazza della Signoria of Florence. On May 4, 1497, a riot against him turned into a revolt and on May 13 1497, he was excommunicated and in 1498 he was hung and burned to death. A plaque in the Piazza Della Signoria in Florence commemorates the spot where he was hung and can be seen to this day.

Martin Luther was a extraordinary man who helped uneducated people relize the danger of the church. he translated the bible into greek so the people could understand it. he wanted to make change for all of humanity because he didnt like the way things were running. Octavia,Ramos
Marsilio Ficino played a great role to throught the renaissance period. Ficino was a priest, a doctor, and a musician. He was born on the 19th of October 1433 and died in October of 1499. This Italian multi-talented priest was, like some priest in that time, determined to uncover the truth that stood behind religion. He studied Greek and began translating books into LAtin. Such books were "On the Divine Wisdom" and the "Creation of the World"
-Peterson
Jean (John) Calvin was born on July 10, 1509 in Noyon, France. He was raised in a Roman Catholic family. The local bishop employed Calvin's father as an administrator in the town's cathedral, and in turn wanted John to become a priest. At the age of 14 Calvin went to Paris to study at the College de Marche in preparation for university study.
During this time, Calvin's education was paid for in part by some small rural communities. So although the new theological teachings of individuals like Martin Luther and Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples were spreading throughout Paris, Calvin was closely tied to the Roman Church. However, by 1527 Calvin had developed friendships with individuals who were “reform-minded.” These contacts were the foundation for Calvin's eventual switch to the Reformed faith.
He began as a lecturer and preacher in Geneva, but by 1538 was asked to leave because of “theological conflicts.” He went to Strasbourg until 1541. His stay there as a pastor to French refugees, was so peaceful and happy that in 1541 the Council of Geneva requested that he return to Geneva. He wanted to stay in Strasbourg but felt a responsibility to return to Geneva. He did so and remained in Geneva until his death May 27, 1564. Those years were filled with lecturing, preaching, and the writing of commentaries, treatises, and various editions of the Institutes of the Christian Religion.

Adding to what Peterson has wrote about Marsilio Ficino whos multiple talents such as, priest, doctor, translator of classic works, author, philosopher, was recognized by Cosimo de Medici. Medici was the leading citizen of Florence. He selected Ficino as a boy to lead the Florentine Platonic Acedemy. Medici forced Ficino to study Greek and then to provide the first latin translation.
Ficino played a major role of the rediscovery of classic learning by translating lots of anicent texts into latin.

Adding on to what Krystle, Navleen and Vickie said about Gabriel Biel. He was a German Philosipher.He was born in 1425 and died in 1495. In 1477 he was the first teacher to work in the university of Tubingen. There he tought theology. Before he died he joined a religious fraternity in 1468. In his Doctrine he wrote he statedpeople point of views on religion. In his book he also include some quotes that Bishop Peter Lombard of Paris. Gabriel Biel supported work by the philosopher William Of Ockam. -enrique
Galileo Galilei was the toughest antagonizer of the church. As soon as Guttenberg's Printing Press was developed and the Dutch telescope was invented, he has found new ways to develop theories to challenge the Church's idea of a Geocentric Earth. With the telescope, Galileo not only found out we live on Heliocentric planet where we revolve around the sun and the Moon revolves around us. There are also other planets and moons involved in this theory. The theory was finally accepted by the Church in 1992- Courtney Wilson
Take a moment and think about what the people such as Martin Luther have done. Where do you think we would be today without someone coming out to stop the spread of false information by the Catholic Church?
-Steven Molnar
Adding to what Anta wrote about Giovanni Palestrina he was a religious singer for the Roman Catholic church. He started out as a chiorboy when he was seven years old.

Adding to what Courtney said, during the renaissance period, a lot of power was being lost. This is because new people were coming out with different ideas like Luther. Another man that decided to setp up was Galileo. It was originally believed that our universe was a geocentric model.And the vatican was right in the center of the earth. Galileo was said to be the first person to "see through teh heavens" with the telescope. One time he saw jupiter and the moon orbiting around it. The largest moon around jupiter is presently named Galileo, after him. Galileo agreed and understood what the church had to say, because he too was a religious man. He was friends with the pope and his daughter was a nun. He writes a book about his observations, and in his book he also asked every single member of teh church, and tehy even agreed with him that he was right. BUt at that time, the church was always right and was supposed to be the answer to everyone's problems. This is why new ideas were discouaraged. For hsi book, galileo gets arrested and was put on trial, in which the court is the church. There were good arguments on both sides. Galileo was found guilty for breaking the scriptures and forced to recant. For many years teh church still belived that the earth wa steh center of teh universe. It wasnt untill 1992 where they realized galileo and his friends were right. -jaicy george

adding on to what anta said giovanni plestrina was born in 1525 in Italy and died on Febuary 2 1594. His mucis was great because it is said that he saved church music. It is a legand repeated by many author. Antony N.
As seen in the video Martin Luther did very important things for his religion. When he buried the body, that showed that his religion was very important to him. Even when he was praying to the skull, that was important.
- Kyle Daniels
According the what TJ and Alex said, Giovanni Palestrina was an italian musician of Renaissance time. He was very famous during the sixteenth century because he was representative of the Roman school of musical composition.
-Simran Kaur
adding on to Durkhanai
martin luther was a man of several dreams. once he realized that his church was in trouble he stepped up to make changes. he posted the 95 thesis on the door of the church because he thought that selling forgiveness was sinful to God. he started his own religion called Lutherinism. till this day he has many followers and believers.
adding to what durkhanai
Martin Luther was a man of many dreams. he made many changes to the crupption of the church. After the fall of the Catholic, he separated and started his own religion called Lutherinism. he thought that people who sold fogivness shouldn't be apart of the church in the forst place. and that wasn't only the people but the priests as well.
-khizer hayat
adding to wat kyle said His contributions to Western civilization extend beyond the Christian Church. His translation of the Bible helped to develop a standard version of the German language, this also helped the bible be tranlated to english
Adding to what kyle said, Martin Luther was a very religous person. He translated the text from the bible into German so that more people would be able to access it. Using the printing press Martin Luther was able to have his pamphlets read throughout most of Germany and with this happening it expanded Protestant religous traditions across Europe.

Its interesting to see how over the course of human history, Religion was used to control people and during the Renessiance people began to realize certain things just didnt make sense about it.

Thomas Cromwell~
It was Cromwell who pushed the idea of the King's sovereign power in England even in ecclesiastical matters--literally excluding the Pope from any further involvement in England's religious affairs (the Act of Supremacy, 1533). Likewise he was the one who pushed for an end of traditional monetary support of the Roman Curia.

Pope Pius II- His character had been that of an easy man of the world, with no pretence to strictness in morals or consistency in politics. He now began to be more regular in the former respect, and in the latter adopted a decided line by making his peace with Rome.

leonardo da vinci has had a huge on us today. His artwork "the last supper" has provoked many controvesial religious ideas in our society. According to many there are "hidden messages" within this painting and some of them go against some religions. They have already published a book called "The Da Vinci Code" and there will soon be a movie coming out based on this.

leonardo da vinci has caused some religious controversy in society today. The painting he created called the "last supper" supposedly had hidden messages. This caused controversy in some religions. Now there is a book called the da vinci code that tries to unlock some of his secrets and there will be soon a movie coming out based on this.
-Kevin Mathai
The religion during the renaissance to me was more political then religious. Addibg to what durkani said , Martin luther was a man who believe different. He thought that something wasnt right with the religious system so he went on teaching others that the religion that is being taught isnt right. In the movie we saw in class we saw that people prayed to a skull of a pope which they thought was god. They also had to pray up a flight of stairs in order for their love ones to go to heaven.
