catholic doctrines and practices which motivated reformation leaders to break away?

Answer 1

Indulgences, and also Protestants don't like to feel any responsibility, kinda like atheists...

Answer 2

Luther's intent was not to break away. He was merely posting his thesis as was common practice for future discussions. He simply wanted to reform the Church. The unintended consequences was leaving the Church. However, Luther didn't go too far. The Lutheran Church has more similarities with the Roman Church than does other Protestants.

Take us Presbyterians who wanted much further reforms. Icons were removed from worship. Communion went from a "literal presence of Christ," to a "spiritual presence of Christ." Baptism changed from required for salvation to imparting of grace; but salvation is based on faith apart from works; works are a result of faith. Confession and Absolution disappeared. The priesthood radically changed. Believers have direct access having only the Jesus as our intercessor and the "priesthood of the believer." Eventually a whole new catechism while keeping the Apostle's and Nicene Creeds, only with a different understanding of what some of the phrases mean.

Answer 3

Well let's see, to name a few:
1. The ildolatry of worshipping the eucharist as the corporeal christ.
2. The "sacrifice of the Mass" being a recrucifying of Christ
3. The paying of indulgences to get people out of purgatory
4. The idolatry of worshipping Mary, not to mention the occultic nature of trying to communicate with her - necromancy
5. The idea that salvation is performance/ritualistic based
6. The elitism of calling their religious officials "Father", contrary to Jesus' explicit teachings on the subject of religious titles
7. Because the Catholic church replaces the Word of God with doctrines of men
8. Replacing Christ as the mediator between God and man with Catholic priests.
9. The False doctrine of purgatory

To name a few.

Answer 4

Not a question, but yes, catholic doctrines, man inspired, not God inspired, are what motivated reformation leaders to break away.

Answer 5

There were several but all sources name the "sale of indulgences" as a corrupt practice that was salient. This was the transfer of earthly money to churchmen in return for the promise of rewards in Heaven or forgiveness of sins.

Celibacy was another area in which corruption was prevalent ( i.e. priests were not celibate in practice and at least two popes were father and son ).

Answer 6

The biggest one that caused the reformation was the Catholic Church selling indulgences- AKA buying salvation.

Answer 7

1. Good Works (Sola Fide)
2. Keeping the Bible from the people (Sola Scriptura)
3. Indulgences
4. Plenary Indulgences
5.Institutionalization of many idea from the Bible as a way of monetary gain... far too many to list here.
6. Paying for the sins of deceased loved ones so they can go to Heaven... what the heck is that called?

So, yeah, read up on Martin Luther. You will find your answers there. :)

Answer 8

Calling monks "Father" - isn't calling a clergyman "Father" in violation of Matthew 23:9? No, in this passage Jesus is utilising a hyperbole (exaggerated literary expression) to make a factor. otherwise, St. Stephen the 1st martyr (Acts 7:2) and St. Paul could be in violation of this command (Romans 4:a million, 12, sixteen; 9:10; a million Corinthians 4:15; 10:a million). Repetitious Prayer - Is reciting the comparable prayer again and again back a sin? together as repeating a prayer in ineffective is ineffective, repeating a prayer in faith isn't, for Jesus Christ Himself repeated prayer (Matthew 26:40 4) and the angels in Heaven continuously repeat "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which exchange into, and is, and is to return" (Revelations 4:8). "i do no longer pray to lifeless people." Catholics do no longer think of heaven is a "lifeless" place. Catholics have faith people in heaven are alive. (Mat 19:29, 25:40 six, Mat 10:17-22, Mk 10:30, Lk 10:25-30, Lk 18:18-30, Jn 3:15-sixteen). We see Lazarus alive by potential of Abraham's area (Lk sixteen:22). And on the transfiguration we see Moses and Elijah alive beside Jesus. (Mat 17:3) There seems to be lots of talking in Heaven in Revelation (i.e. Rev 4:10). The Church thinks heaven is a energetic place with lots of making a music and stuff. they do no longer think of people in heaven are asserting "hey close up with the making a music will ya, i'm attempting to sleep!!!" Jesus opened the gates to Heaven. "Graves of the lifeless have been opened and that they went into city to evangelise the Gospel." (Mat 27:fifty two). Jesus mentioned "Now he's a God no longer of the lifeless, yet of the residing; for to him all of them are alive." (Lk 20:39-40)

Answer 9

the abuse of indulgences was the biggie. but that was more of a separate parish thing instead of an official teaching thing.

they also wanted the bible in the vernacular, or language of the area.


the church ended up doing all of this after the reformation, this was called the counter-reformation

Answer 10

well I know that in the middle ages it was resented that the church took so much money from the people
also, the bible was forbidden to be translated to the language of the common people. People were angry that the church wanted to keep the word of god unacessable to the people.
selling of indulgences was a sore point to.
people didn't have to do penance if they could pay enough to avoid it.
aslo, political leaders supported a separation of church and state (which would keep the church out of political decisions and keep more money for the state)

Answer 11

Selling of indulgences.

Basically, sin all you like, and we are not talking blaspheming or anything simple here, then BUY an indulgence from the church and you would be forgiven for your sins.

Made a complete mockery of all of the catholic doctorines
