Chapter 1: What is the main theme of the Reformation discussed in this episode?
Welcome back to Finverse History. I'm with Horatio Gould. This is the Counter-Reformation. It's part four. It's a very sad episode. Very sad, indeed. Very, very tragic stuff, this. The Empire Strikes Back. The Protestant Holocaust. The Protestant Holocaust. Numbers that you believe. I completely believe.
Chapter 2: How did the Catholic Church respond to the Protestant Reformation?
Why would you doubt these numbers? And they're staggering. Yeah. You'd write a denial of the denial if you heard someone deny this. I would like to open a debate. I would like to deny the Holocaust. The Holocaust. The Holocaust.
Chapter 3: What role did the Council of Trent play in the Reformation?
The Holocaust. To summarise events, the filthy, disgusting, rotten Catholic Church had been bravely... To put it mildly. To put it mildly, had been bravely challenged by Martin Luther and my own personal hero, John Calvin. But by the 1540s, the Catholic Church have... It's 5am, it's a kitchen, it's an afters, everyone's on pingas, everyone's on coke, and Martin Luther's opened the curtains.
And he's covered in poo. Yeah. Yeah. Right streaming in and it's just the birds are tweeting. And now it's like, right, we've got to stop all this nonsense. Stop chatting shit.
Chapter 4: What were the significant events during the Counter-Reformation?
Yeah. You go to bed. Yes. Yes. Go to fucking bed. I genuinely, it's like when I went to Charlie's 30th. I felt like Martin Luther. In this rotten, you know, indulgent, all Charlie's friends, you know, they're all trans and they have no eyebrows. Finn has been quite confused because so many of Charlie's friends have no eyebrows. I'm just confused.
Chapter 5: How did the Protestant Holocaust impact European history?
I don't know what they're thinking. You don't know if it's an alopecia thing. You don't know if it's a political statement. Could be a political statement. You don't know if they're on Looney Tunes and they've tried to deactivate a bomb and it's exploded their eyebrows off. I don't know what they think. Yeah. Okay.
Anyway, so the Catholic Church start to notice that they're losing the grip on the Holy Roman Empire. And so they initiate the Council of Trent.
Chapter 6: What were the consequences of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre?
Trent Alexander Arnold. Ladies, calm yourselves, okay? There are episodes where we talk about... engineering issues. And again, you know, in the Chernobyl series, we talked about nuclear fission. Many ladies left the house during that without spare pants and their days were ruined. I'm giving you a chance now. It caused them engineering issues. They had their own engineering issues.
They had their own fission problems.
Chapter 7: How did the Huguenots influence modern society?
I'm warning you now that when we get into the Council of Trent... Similar issues will occur. This is not stuff to be taken lightly. Now, the Council of Trent is an 18-year theological meeting. Right. An 18-year long meeting. I guess you didn't have loads to do in those days. No. But this is an 18-year meeting as how should we respond to Martin Luther's book.
It really does go to show the upper hand the Protestants had with printing press.
Chapter 8: What is the legacy of the Reformation in today's religious landscape?
LAUGHTER
The Catholics had an 18-year meeting. Yeah. As a result of this Council of Trent, they work out what they think in response to Luther's challenge. They say that the faith is not the only thing. It's also the church. 18 years this took. That communion is actually the blood and body of Christ. Well, guys, go back in there until you come up with a better idea.
It took you 18 years to just double down on the fact that actually is, but that's bollocks. That's absolute bollocks. They say the seven sacraments are to stay in place. What's that? Now, again, this is a Protestant podcast. Yeah. So the sacraments are baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, holy orders, and marriage. What are the Protestant sacraments?
Work, sleep, tap water. Yeah. Pray repeat. Yeah. Eat, pray, love. Except don't love. Don't open yourself up. Eat, pray, sleep, don't feel anything, clench your jaw till your face explodes, ignore your wife, shake your kids' hands. No, I'm not dad, I'm sir.
They say the Latin translation of the Bible should be continued to be prioritized, and they would still do indulgences, but they were not allowed to be marketed. Right, so they weren't allowed to be like sponsored content or like part of a brand deal. No, no paid advertising.
They also banned relatives from being appointed to church positions, and they said that bishops had to live in their diocese. They didn't want a roaming like false nine bishop. No, they didn't want like when an MP is not actually from the area and they get parachuted in from Westminster. But they also found the Jesuits, the shock troops of the Counter-Reformation.
These are mass missionaries who they basically go and spread the gospel of sin. to try and break up the Protestant states. So we get to the Roman Inquisition of 1542, okay? This is where the protest course begins. Okay. Is this the beginning of the wars of religion that's still sort of going on now in some ways? Is it still going on now? No. Now it's Christianity versus Islam. Yeah, I guess so.
Is there Protestant Catholic... I mean, there's tensions in Northern Ireland, but was that the last... Members of it. The old Celtic Rangers, I guess, is as close as it gets. But that's football, isn't it? Yeah. That's a spectator sport. Sure. This is a spectator sport for some people. This episode will challenge how much of a spectator sport this stuff is.
So the Roman Inquisition, these are the... I mean, at this point in the 16th century, the Holy Roman Emperor is Spanish. I think it's still Charles V. Get a photo of Charles V. Charlie, let's have a look at this jaw.
