Today in class we decided if we were going to take the test or not and we voted to not take the test. after that we did some questions from the book.

Here are some notes: Luther and reformation- the church weakened and vulnerable -socially- Renaissance emphasizes on the secular and individual challenge church authority -painting press helped spread ideas -politically- some rulers began to challenge the church politics power. -economically- northern merchants resorted paying church taxes to Rome. What wring with the church -corrupt leadership -renaissance- era popes spent extravagantly on personal pleasure. -pope Alexander the 5th fathered several children (not married) -some priest and monks were poorly educated -priest drank to excess, many gambled most indulgences -selling of indulgence -Johann tetzed was a monk -sold industrial;gencrs rebuild st. Peter cathedral.

Today in class we took some notes in our new chapter four our last test.This powerpoint included stuff like art and architecture and how it started to become an important part of peoples lives after it had been seemed to be lost. We also talked about how people would pay an artist to paint murals of themselves and how they would usually like to be put in religious situations like the nativity.

Today in class we took the test. I thought it was the easiest test that we have taken all semester. I think on some of the tests in the past during this semester have focused on too many little details that we didn't really focus on in class and should have been focused on the stuff that we did spend a lot of time on. Overall I think that i did pretty good today and i hope it shows in my grade.
