Question

Which of Martin Lutherʼs disagreements with the Catholic Church do you think were most influenced by the

Renaissance idea of humanism?

Answer 1

One of the causes for Luther's disagreement with the Catholic church was Luther's idea that man should be solely responsible for his salvation and not have to pay anyone for it. This responsibility that Luther gave to man was an idea influenced by the revival of humanism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin Luther, during the early Protestant Reformation, was indeed concerned with saving the soul of man, but kings and princes do not reason that way and saw in Luther a political opportunity for a definitive break with the Church. Luther, in addition to being influenced by humanist ideas, received the support of several humanists, for although humanism valued reason above all else, they agreed that Luther's ideas gave man the responsibility for his own salvation without intermediaries. it was closer to humanist values than the church.

Answer 2

The disagreement with the Catholic Church that was most influence by the Renaissance idea of humanism was that it was wrong for the Church to sell indulgences, since this implied that humans could not have a strong, individual relationship with God.
