The complicated sixteenth century
The sixteenth (16th) century presents a complicated, at times unnerving, and at other times invigorating sense of Church history.
16th century Characters include:
- Ignatius Loyolla
- Charles V
- Erasmus
- St. Thomas More
- Martin Luther
Erasmus
Considered a great figure in the Humanism movement, Erasmus is complicated. Above all else, he opposed "scholisticism," thus St, Thomas Aquinas, although not by name, attacking, instead, Aquinas' heirs, the Scholastics.
