(Nota Bene - since 2017 is widely regarded - particularly in this "feste Burg" of Lutheranism - as the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, this year we are doing a monthly topic on the Reformation, focusing on the influence of the Reformation on the development and practice of the ideas of individual and economic liberty. Whether you are a heretic, papist, or even an infidel, you are welcome to come and join our discussion!)
In order to understand many of the conflicts and disputes that were central to the Protestant Reformation, we must go back in time to the early centuries of Christianity, as many, if not most, of the issues that caused the western church to reach a breaking point in the 16th century had been thorns in the side (so to speak) of church belief and practice for many centuries.
Many reformers, in particular the most radical reformers, believed that one of the main root causes of the corruption of the church was when the Christian religion changed, within a few short decades, from being an illegal religion subject to periodic persecution to the chosen religion of the Roman emperors and elite, with corresponding legal and economic benefits.
This month we will do a quick overview of roughly 1000 years of church history, beginning with the first Council of Nicaea, the first church council where a Roman emperor presided, and end at the start of the 14th century, when, for reasons of expediency (not the least being the swords - and the gold - of the French king), the papacy moved from Rome to a little town in southeastern France called Avignon.
Next month we'll look at some of the proto-Reformation movements of the 14th and 15th centuries.
