    The Legacy of the Renaissance


    The European Renaissance was a period of great artistic and
    social change. It marked a break with the medieval-period
    ideals that focused around the Church. The Renaissance
    belief in the dignity of the individual played a key role in
    the gradual rise of democratic ideas.
    Furthermore, the impact of the movable-type printing press
    was tremendous. Some historians have suggested that its
    effects were even more dramatic than the arrival of the
    personal computers in the 20th century.

    Changes in Society

    While Protestant churches won many followers, millions remained true to


    Catholicism. Helping Catholics to remain loyal was a movement within the
    Catholic Church to reform itself.
    Historians once referred to the Catholic

    Reformation as the Counter

    Reformation.
    The Council of Trent: From 1545-1563, Catholic bishops and cardinals
    agreed on several doctrines:
    The Churchs interpretation of the Bible was final.
    Christians needed faith and good works for salvation.
    The Bible and Church tradition were equally powerful authorities for guiding
    Christian life.
    Indulgences were valid expression of faith. But the selling of indulgences was
    banned.
