John Calvin (1509-1564) was a French Reformer who taught about
predestination and the "Elect" of God. He advocated the "Five Solas" -
Protestant statements of belief that were contrary to the ideas and
practices of the Catholic Church. These ideas helped to break the power
of the Catholic Church and create an atmosphere of debate and discovery
that eventually led to the ideas of democracy.
In your own words,
what does each sola say? How is each one different from the Catholic
beliefs? How did the Five Solas help to break the power of the Catholic
Church during the Reformation?
