extra credit is now closed. Lots of good respones. i gave a few more points that i would have liked to or typically done. I need you guys to recognize HOW IMPORTANT the Northern Renaissance and it's devotion to Christian humanism and the return to the original tenets of christianity. If it's NOT in the Bible, it's not important. The arguments by folks (our next unit) who will PROTEST the Church is that the Papacy is corrupt, TOO embracing of secularism, acts as a centralized monarchy, forces euro states to send $$ to fund it, and it corrupt. These PROTESTANTS will be focused primarily in Northern Europe and then England. NONE in "italy" Some will "try" in France. (Think ahead.....the king of France is a SUPER devout Roman Catholic. He is a strong "new monarch." Which group that we've spoken about MIGHT decide to follow the new Protestant faith in France??!!) And Spain.........well, the Inquisition will CRUSH any threat to Catholicism.
