Answer the following questions briefly:
With reference to the causes of the Reformation, how did the following contribute to the movement: Evil practices of the Roman Catholic Church
उत्तर
With the passage of time the clergy, with some exceptions, began to lead immoral lives of luxury, wealth, and comfort. The monasteries owned nearly one-third of the landed property in Europe. Religious duties and services to mankind were largely ignored or forgotten. The Roman Church levied various taxes such as ‘tithe’ and ‘Peter’s Pence’ on all European Christians under their control. High fees were charged for conducting religious services. Bribery and corruption became common. Church offices were sold, bringing many unworthy people into the Church. The Church also started the practice of selling “indulgences’ to those who had committed sins. It was like a certificate of pardon by God for their sins and a ‘passport to heaven” without having to undergo any penance.
