What country was (Renissance) Martin Luthers ideas most accepted in?

Question

I have four mulitple choice anwers. Is it England, France, Italy or Scandinavia?

Answer 1

Really?

Well his ideas were mostly accepted in the German states and Scandinavia sooo

Answer 2

I am 90% sure its italy

Answer 3

Well, I had thought it was Germany, but with those choices I would say Scandinavia.

I don't think it was Italy because Rome is in Italy, so it was a Roman Catholic country.

Answer 4

WHY do people keep saying "Germany"? Just because Luther was from there?  Germany has about equal amounts of Lutheran and Catholic, and have lived with each other harmoniously since the end of the 30 years war, actually an example for Ireland to follow.

France had a cardinal that put an end to protestant religion in France, with their own holocaust.  Many protestants were massacred, and others fled to exile in other places, I think they were called Hugenauts.  France exterminated every bit of protestantism from France.  Italy likewise,  they even tried to outlaw the printing press so people couldn't get bibles to read for themselves, and the Catholic authorities and system was centred there.   England's church was similar in structure to the catholic church, just separate from the authority of the Pope in Rome.  So your Answer should be Scandanavia, wher the churches are Lutheran.

Answer 5

look at this logically.  England was not influenced by Luther, as it was already hurch of England.  Italy and France are solidly Catholic (not so much practicing any more but...).  Do you think Luther made a dent in Rome???  That leaves Scandinavia, and they have few Catholic churches--they have state churches that are Protestant.  Please try to think these through or else you'll have lots of trouble as you go through school.

Answer 6

Luther was associated not with the Renaissance but with the Reformation. England's split with Rome was more or less independent of Luther, and France was influenced more by Calvin -- French religious civil wars went on for a long time, mainly outside Lutheran influence. Italy was affected only indirectly by the weakening of the Papacy. But Scandinavia converted completely to Lutheranism, largely because of King Gustavus Adolphus, the Swedish military genius who backed the Lutheran cause.

Answer 7

The only country I know, is the country of origin and Martin Luther

Reformation, is Germany.

Answer 8

Germany is not an option?

I am of Scandinavian ancestry and almost everyone I grew up with in Minnesota who was Scandinavian was Lutheran , so I would guess Scandinavian.
