Why did changes in religion cause problems in England?
What did People believe at the Start of the 16th Century?
• If you died with a dirty Soul you would go to either Purgatory or straight to hell.
• You had to go to Church and get the Priest to clean your Soul.
• If you died with a clean Soul you would go to heaven.
What did People believe at the Start of the 16th Century?
• If you went on a Crusade or a Pilgrimage you could earn time out of Purgatory
• You could buy a special letter from the Pope called an Indulgence which was like a get out of jail for free card but for Purgatory.
The ideas of a German monk called Martin Luther started to change things
• He could read Latin, Greek and Hebrew.• Whilst comparing the Latin Catholic Bible with
the original Greek & Hebrew he found that certain parts were incorrectly translated.
• Luther hung his research on the local Church door in Wittenburg in 1517.
• He disagreed with the Pope and began the protestant religion.
• You Don’t have to go to Church to get your soul cleaned.
• Indulgences were wrong• Read the Bible in your own
language and not Latin.• The Church is too rich.
