FACT

OPINION

Humanism started in ancient Greece

I think humanism is the best way of reasoning ever

Renaissance humanism

 is better than 

ancient Greek humanism

Classical learning is something a humanist believes in.

Humanists started re-translating the Bible

Which excess of the Catholic Church can be seen in the picture?

1. Jobs in the Catholic Church were for sale
2. Relics were displayed
3. Indulgences were sold
4. people were declared to be saints

Which of the following best describes the word "indulgence"

1. letters that tell you about the authenticity of a relic shown in a church
2. relics that are displayed in a church at which you can pray for less time in purgatory
3. free tickets to purgatory
4. letters signed by the pope or a bishop in which all your sins were forgiven

Why did Luther nail his 95 theses on the 

church door, you think?

Use source A to reason that Charles V had much power over the
German princes, even if he did not have enough soldiers to make all princedoms obey him.
