Excerpt from the site that my textbook comes from:

Quote:# The condition of the church (ca. 1400-1517)

1. The declining prestige of the church
1. The Babylonian Captivity and the Great Schism damaged the church's prestige.
2. Secular humanists satirized and denounced moral corruption within the church.
2. Signs of disorder in the early sixteenth century
1. The parish clergy brought spiritual help to the people.
2. Critics of the church wanted moral and administrative reform in three areas.
1. Clerical immorality (neglect of celibacy, drunkenness, gambling) created a scandal.
2. The lack of education of the clergy and law standards of ordination were condemned by Christian humanists.
3. The absenteeism, pluralism (holding of several benefices, or offices), and wealth of the greater clergy bore little resemblance to the Christian gospel.
3. The prelates and popes of the period, often members of the nobility, lived in splendor and moral corruption.
3. Signs of vitality in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries
1. Sixteenthcentury Europe remained deeply religious, and calls for reform testify to the spiritual vitality of the church.
2. New organizations were formed to educate and minister to the poor.
1. The Brethren of the Common Life in Holland lived simply and sought to make religion a personal, inner experience based on following the scriptures.
2. The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis urged Christians to seek perfection in a simple way of life.
3. Pope Julius II summoned an ecumenical council on reform in the church called the Lateran Council (1512-1527).

This is a really great site for chapter outlines. They might not follow your book, but they follow the course. Great review.

AP USH Most people take as a necessary course, EH AP usually isn't. So there's almost always more US kids than EH.
