  • When the Protestant Reformation broke out in Western Europe, the Catholic Church got the message, at least a little bit. Pope Paul III called a council to look into reforming some aspects of the Catholic Church and try to stem the tide of competing Christian sects popping up all over the place. The Council of Trent changed some aspects of the organization, but doubled down on a lot of the practices that Martin Luther and other reformers had a problem with. Today you'll learn about the Council of Trent, the rise of the Jesuits, and Saint Teresa of Avila.

      We tend to incorrectly think of indulgences as something you pay for to get into Heaven, but more often they are tied to actions moreso than money.
      We have to remember that to the people of the past, money was more clearly a means to an end rather than an end in itself.
      The gift of just money without a reason for it was largely worthless to medieval man. It isn't that way today because money is now much more powerful than other worldly sources of power.

    I'm so happy they brought up Artemisia Gentileschi!! She was a badass in art and in life. She was the first woman admitted into an art academy in Florence, friends with Medici and Galileo and other influential people, her chiaroscuro was easily comparable to Caravaggio's, and she just gained so much success in a time that was against women. Her art shows female protagonists who were brave and powerful and defiant, equals to any men. She didn't let her trauma consume her life. She rose above it. I admire her strength a lot.

      eace you are wrong, jesuits make a great difference when they are teaching, between secular and religious subjects. For example, to become a jesuit priest, first you need to have a degree in a secular science (chemistry, like the pope, math, engineering, etc) then you start your theological studies. I went to a private school since kinder garden run by jesuits, and we saw the theory of evolution, contraception, and all the stuff that people say catholics are against, we saw it in the school. Just because they are religious order, doesnt mean they are stupid or blinded by their beliefs. I identified my self as an agnostic and i am against religious zealots, but i must admit that the knowledge i was given by my jesuits teachers was top quality.

      Also Crash Course World History was the first series they did, and the channel has matured since 2012 too. The humour is less eccentric because crash course is a proper business and a widely used educational resource in schools now, not just an experimental educational web series.

I feel like this channel in general has always tried to be fair in general about matters of faith, which is unfortunately rare on CZcams.

    I'm looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully, it will explain how the belief in magic and especially the persecution of people accused of witchcraft (associated with the "dark" Middle Ages) actually increased in early modern Europe (arguably even more so in the protestant areas), challenging the oversimplified ideas of progress.

    Thank you for presenting these facts i.e. both the good and bad of the church in a respectable way. I find that sometimes, people who do not agree with the church or have had bad experiences (which of course is terrible) tend to have a condescending tone when explaining the history of the church. I like that you presented the truth in an honest and respectable way. Thank you.

    In my country, the Netherlands, you can really tell that the north was more protestant and the south more catholic by the architecture. The architecture in the north is much more sober, and the south has a more decorative, exuberant style. This distinction is at least partly (that I know of) caused by the river which made for a very good border.
    (Some cities are new(er), or had to rebuild, so exceptions occur.)

    (1) If it didn't always work within Europe, the 'Counter' (incl Jesuit work and revivalist fervour) did confirm Roman Catholicism in many former colonies around the world (especially Latin America and, later, Africa). The oddest one is Philippines, overwhelmingly Christian (and Catholic). (2) nice to see some church art which was most people's ONLY experience of art/culture back then. The Protestant mob destroyed over 90% of church art (therefore, of public art) in Scotland

      I will point out the obvious logical fallacy of your comment, with your inference that talking about a topic such as "The Reformation" or "Counter-Reformation" is somehow an endorsement of the faith associated with that topic. Specifically your use of the word "praise", I would proffer that this would be better stated as "coverage", and on that point, I would agree with you that the Reformation seems to get more coverage than the Counter-Reformation.

    JG, the very first thing I’ve known about you was your episode on Frankenstein, a crash course literature pearl. Back then, a friend that was a teen, and now is allowed to drink in the USA, dared me to get to know you, and read The fault in our stars. As a counterpart, he should read Persuasion. The point was, he saying “try to understand a teen’s perspective of life”, and I was like “try to figure out how women life is like”. Well, I got a the big prize. I’m not sure if my friend had ever read Jane Austen’s masterpiece, but I’ve started following Crash Course Literature, and whatever you are into. The fault... was a blast. I’m a researcher, interested in death as a research topic. I had never seen anyone talking so plainly about how teenager could face dying. I’m also a feminist, and I can’t wait for you perspective (or witty presentation) of witchcraft.

By the way, the Teresian Reform is called "Discalced', not "Discalceate'. But a good explanation of Teresa and her Reform. I belong to the Third Order of the unreformed Carmelites.

      Doesnt matter if they were banned or not, they were "sold". Just like when you donate a few million dollars to a college. Its illegal to pay for your kid to get in, but we all know that when someone donates an entire building they _are_ basically paying for entrance. Same goes on today. When i was sick a Catholic friend "donated" to some special church with a special Saint and that got me on their prayer list to be prayed for in that church. He basically paid for me to be prayed for, but no Catholic would ever actually say thats how it went down.

    I would love for there to be a course about in depth history of Africa and the middle East during the middle age, how countries that were so adamant about teaching science and mathematics stopped being the center of innovation and transitioned to more destructive things.

    Thank you for the video crash course! I’m a bit confused I was wondering if you could clear something up for me. If the Council of Trent was 1545 and the counter reformation was mainly n the 1500’s, is baroque art and music still relevant to this period? I always thought the baroque era was 1600-1750. Would it not be more suitable to make reference to renaissance art and music? Otherwise really good thanks so much! 💙

  • @ccreasman
    @ccreasman Před 5 lety +1

    I think it’s important to note that the Council of Trent was initially a hoped for reconciliation. Luther and others of his leading thinkers and other Protestant leaders were all invited. Luther declined but others came. Unfortunately, the Church’s view on reconciliation was unwilling to accept some of the key changes, especially about the Pope. So, the Protestants left, and thus the rest of the meetings trended towards more Catholicism. Also, the Council did not meet continuously for 18 years, but in various bigger blocks of time. It was in the latter meetings, where the Protestants had refused to come, that the key decisions hardened into the Counter-Reformation. The Catholic Reformation and the Counter Reformation are related, but different issues. The view of the start of the Council of Trent reflects this as there was initially only this sense of finding common ground with Protestants, and then returning, hopefully, to a reformed Universal Church. When that didn’t happen, tools like the Index and people like Loyola ramped up their efforts.

    Jesuits not also stole techniques from Asia, but also brought new ones to them. One of these techniques Jesuits brought to Asia (Japan) was how to create bread/loaves. The word for bread in Japanese is Pan from the Portuguese Pão. This is due to "ão/õe" phoneme only existing in Portuguese and Arabic. It is a hard nasal sound that end up being used as in Japanese with "an". Jesuits also brought crops that were not in Japan previous to their arrival like Pumpkin, from Cambodia and tobacco.
