History and culture of the Baroque
Abstract
The protests against the Roman Catholic church, its doctrines, faith, and practices began with Catholic clergymen like Martin Luther in the 16th century. The protestant reformation protested the exploitation of the peasants, like the sale of indulgences for remission of sins, and salvation by sacraments, fasting, and good works. This led to the differences like baroque art in Catholic churches and institutions to appeal to emotions, while protestants banned baroque art from religious institutions. This caused the catholic counter-reformation that led to structural reconfiguration, religious orders, political dimensions, and spiritual movements like Teresa of Avila's Carmelite Order, Discalced Carmelites. After the counter-reformation period came the post-reformation European political period that sought separation of the church and state. At the same time, states like Spain and Portugal were using their military institutions to conquer Europe from Islam, and expand their trade through exploration. In the event of exploration, they turned their trade posts to conquered territories, as authorized by their monarchs and by the Catholic Church. The process of preferential benefits like land and assets, and the use of military in exploration by Spain saw the conquest and colonization of the New World.
