 | | Reformation, great 16th-century religious revolution in the Christian church, which ended the ecclesiastical supremacy of the pope in Western Christendom and resulted in the establishment of the Protestant churches. | | | Their scholarly studies laid the basis on which Luther, the French theologian and religious reformer John Calvin, and other reformers subsequently claimed the Bible rather than the church as the source of all religious authority. | | | The 14th-century English reformer John Wycliffe boldly attacked the papacy itself, striking at the sale of indulgences, pilgrimages, the excessive veneration of saints, and the moral and intellectual standards of ordained priests. |

| | The Reformation is similarly related to medieval Catholicism as the apostolic church to the Jewish synagogue, or the gospel dispensation to the dispensation of the law. | | | Reformation is the historical name for the religious movement of the sixteenth century, -- the greatest since the introduction of Christianity. | | | The synod of Erdod, in 1545, organized the Lutheran, and the synod of Czenger, in 1557, the Reformed Church. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Reformation |
| | The Reformation destroyed the unity of faith and ecclesiastical organization of the Christian peoples of Europe, cut many millions off from the true Catholic Church, and robbed them of the greatest portion of the salutary means for the cultivation and maintenance of the supernatural life. | | | Lutheranism was spread by violent means, and the faithful adherents of the Catholic religion were oppressed. | | | Consequently the Reformed national Churches were completely subject to the civil authorities, and the Reformers, who had entrusted to the civil power the actual execution of their principles, had now no means of ridding themselves of this servitude. |

| | But there was one great advance for the Reformation during his reign—publication of the "King James Bible" translated by the best Bible scholars of the day, and, along with the Book of Common Prayer, a decisive influence on the development of the English language. | | | They were visionaries whose Reformed faith centered on the sovereignty of God. | | | But a minority now decided that reform of the established church was a lost cause, and began to organize their own illegal congregations. |

| | Reformation |
| | The Reformation of the 16th century was a movement within Western Christendom to purge the church of medieval abuses and to restore the doctrines and practices that the reformers believed conformed with the Bible and the New Testament model of the church. | | | This led to a breach between the Roman Catholic Church and the reformers whose beliefs and practices came to be called Protestantism. | | | Precursors of the Reformation proper included the movements founded by John Wycliffe (the Lollards) and John Huss (the Hussites) during the 14th and 15th centuries. |

| | The divisions within the churches of the Reformation also served to forward the Counter Reformation within the Roman Catholic Church, which rewon Poland, Hungary, most of Bohemia, and part of Germany. | | | It has continued to exert influence to the present day, with its emphasis on personal responsibility and individual freedom, its refusal to take authority for granted, and its ultimate influence in breaking the hold of the church on life and consequent secularization of life and attitudes. | | | Luther& action was not as yet a revolt against the church but a movement for reform within. |

| | The Reformation of the sixteenth century was the last period in the history of Western civilization when men were preoccupied with religion, argued it, fought and even died for it. | | | "When the reformers who had first ventured a new interpretation of the gospel had passed from the scene, the question which had haunted the Reformation from its very inception--where is truth?--was still contested by the proponents of the old and the new faith. | | | I used this book for an undergraduate course on the History of Reformation Europe and found it to be an excellent source, especially when paired with John Olin's compilation of original source documents on the Catholic Reformation. |

| | No one wanted to admit to being an "innovater." The Renaissance thought of itself as rediscovering a purer, earlier time and the Reformation needed to feel that it was not new, but just a "return" to the simple, true religion of the beginnings of Christianity. | | | The way things were is how they ought to be, and new ideas would lead to anarchy and destruction. | | | These fears of innovation certainly seemed justified when Henri II died suddenly in 1559, leaving an enormous power vacuum at the heart of social authority in France. |
