Chapter 15
Luther's Ninety-Five Theses; and the beginning of the Protestant Reformation began in the year of
1517. Martin Luther was a German priest who wanted to reform Roman Catholicism not to break
away from it. He had a 95 Theses combined with common criticisms of the Catholic hierarchy and
its corruption. Also stated that faith, was the path to salvation. Luther's ideas made a revolutionary
impact. Which lead a split into Catholicism, called Protestantism. The power of writing became very
important to society and its different groups who had different views of religion. After this, Western
Europe had a long period of political, economic, and religion tension with its people. Peasant revolts
happened in the German lands around the 1520s. But all of this came into an end, The Peace of
Westphalia (1648), by establishing political boundaries. The Catholic church converting Native
Americans in the New World represents its greatest success overseas. The Aztec and Inca empires
collapsed with the arrival of Europeans. Christianity was making powerful moves to these foreign
lands/worlds. But in Asian, Christianity never really put emphasis on them, specifically China. The
Ming and Qing dynasties were never in an form of danger such as a military takeover by any
Western Empire during this time. China also had down their own traditions. Christianity did not
make a difference with anything they had from their belief system. All of this was going then later
the birth of modern science came into play. Scientific Method was one that generated knowledge
from carefully observation, controlled experiments and formulations of general laws with the help of
mathematic principles. Believe it or not this also caused a huge chaos with the Catholic Church.
Science was mostly seen as a false idea or a malevolent tool from the devil. It was not perfect time to
present science at such an incredible rate methods, ideas, experiments. But nothing is always a
perfect time.
