protestantism is the religious manifestation of the renaissance

2018-09-05 01:48:36 UTC  

How though?

2018-09-05 01:48:47 UTC  

the values of the renaissance are reflected in protestantism

2018-09-05 01:48:54 UTC  

Which values?

2018-09-05 01:48:56 UTC  

it's more humanist than catholicism

2018-09-05 01:49:14 UTC  

more egalitarian

2018-09-05 01:49:21 UTC  

So we're just going to ignore gnostics, Arians, Hussites, and Albigensians.

2018-09-05 01:49:28 UTC  

The Protestant Revolution was not unprecedented.

2018-09-05 01:49:37 UTC  

That is completely ahistorical.

2018-09-05 01:49:43 UTC  

ik

2018-09-05 01:53:08 UTC  

Humanism is materialistic and barbarian.

2018-09-05 01:53:15 UTC  

Maybe that's why Germans liked it so much.

2018-09-05 01:55:04 UTC  

Are you against seeing value in your fellow man?

2018-09-05 01:55:24 UTC  

there's also the jesuits, which i believe were part of the counter-reformation

2018-09-05 01:55:36 UTC  

they have been hugely important to science and philosophy

2018-09-05 01:55:50 UTC  

The counter-reformation was almost as bad as the reformation.

2018-09-05 01:56:11 UTC  

The Church debased itself in my opinion.

2018-09-05 01:56:18 UTC  

but it was corrupt

2018-09-05 01:56:23 UTC  

debasement non-unique

2018-09-05 01:56:23 UTC  

Which Church?

2018-09-05 01:56:31 UTC  

That's why they liked Copernicus but didn't like Galileo, just a few decades later.

2018-09-05 01:56:31 UTC  

roman catholic

2018-09-05 01:56:52 UTC  

The Roman Church was an institution of learning but doubled down in their theology to combat Protestant heresy.

2018-09-05 01:56:55 UTC  

Hmm, you seem to have misspelled "Paganism Lite".

2018-09-05 01:57:08 UTC  

copernicus didn't public on the revolutions of heavenly spheres until he was on his deathbed because he was afraid of the church

2018-09-05 01:57:27 UTC  

No, he literally dedicated it to the Pope.

2018-09-05 01:57:38 UTC  

It was published by the Church if I recall correctly.

2018-09-05 01:58:21 UTC  

He was not a layman.

2018-09-05 01:58:25 UTC  

He worked for the Church.

2018-09-05 01:59:14 UTC  

Literally everyone worked for the church.

2018-09-05 01:59:29 UTC  

At least that's what the Church would have had.

2018-09-05 01:59:52 UTC  

Except not literally everyone. <:E_:459545659574321152>

2018-09-05 02:00:04 UTC  

If you were a scholar you worked for the Church.

2018-09-05 02:00:35 UTC  

If you were a farmer and paid taxes to a king you also worked for the church as the king usually had his power through God via the Church.

2018-09-05 02:00:39 UTC  

Heliocentrism wasn't rejected by the Church as a whole, it was rejected for scientific reasons and not even by a majority of other clergymen. It wasn't theological.

2018-09-05 02:00:59 UTC  

That's a pretty bad misunderstanding of the three estates system.

2018-09-05 02:01:12 UTC  

If you're a farmer you provide for the second and third estate. There's no mixing.

2018-09-05 02:01:27 UTC  

You don't indirectly work for the Church because you provide food for them.

2018-09-05 02:02:23 UTC  

Unless you can make the case that Copernicus was a farmer and that it's somehow equivalent then that doesn't mean anything.

2018-09-05 02:02:30 UTC  

But he worked for the Church directly.

2018-09-05 02:03:10 UTC  

The backlash against Copernicus was from Protestants mostly, not Catholics. Bet they don't tell you that. 😦
