Part one of this program highlights the Great Schism. The Papacy’s move to achieve political independence and the flowering of the Renaissance are presented as well—along with the violent opposition to the new papal politics and the humanism that was remaking God in man’s image. Part two plots out the religious revolt sparked by the sale of indulgences, from Martin Luther’s 95 Theses, to the Inquisition, to the Protestantism of John Calvin. The spread of the Catholic faith to Latin America by the Jesuits is also discussed. (48 minutes)
