CHAPTER 11
THE QUEST FOR SALVATION
WE SHOW OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST BY
LOVING OUR NEIGHBORS



THERE HAS BEEN A LONGSTANDING
CONFLICT BETWEEN ISRAELIS, MOST OF
WHOM ARE JEWISH, AND PALESTINIANS,
MOST OF WHOM ARE MUSLIMS.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE DEVELOP SUCH GREAT
PASSIONS FOR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS THAT
THEY ACT IN DIRESPECTFUL WAYS TO
PEOPLE OF OTHER RELIGIONS.
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST NEVER CALLS
UPON US TO DISRESPECT ANYONE FOR ANY
REASON!
THE CRUSADES

THE CRUSADES WERE ORGANIZED BY
THE CHURCH AND NOBILITY IN THE
WEST AS A RESPONSE TO
RESTRICTIONS ON TRAVEL TO THE
HOLY LAND IMPOSED BY THE SELJUK
TURKS, WHOSE ARMIES WERE
THREATENING THE BYZANTINE
EMPIRE. THE CHURCH WANTED TO
PRESEVE THE HOLY LAND AND BRING
ABOUT RELIGIOUS CONVERSION.
THE BYZANTINE EMPEROR



ASKED THE CHURCH AND PRINCES IN THE
WEST TO ASSIST THEM IN MAKING THE
HOLY LAND SAFE FOR CHRISTIAN
INHABITANTS AND PLIGRIMS.
POPE URBAN II CALLED FOR A CRUSADE OF
CHRISTIAN KNIGHTS TO RALLY TO THE AID
OF CONSTANTINOPLE AT THE COUNCIL OF
CLERMONT IN 1095.
KNIGHTS WOULD BE REWARDED IN LAND,
MONEY, AND INDULGENCES.
INDULGENCES

IS THE REMOVAL OF ALL OR SOME OF
THE PUNISHMENT THAT WE MUST
SUFFER IN PURGATORY FOR THE
EFFECTS OF OUR SINS ON EARTH.
4 CRUSADES




BETWEEN 1095 & 1204
CRUSADERS WON SOME BATTLES BUT
FAILED TO WIN PALESTINE BACK FROM
MUSLIM CONTROL.
IN THE 4TH CRUSADE CHRISTIANS
DESTROYED MUCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE,
WHICH WAS PART OF THE BYZANTINE
EMPIRE.
THIS CAUSED AN EVEN BIGGER WEDGE
BETWEEN THE EASTERN AND WESTERN
CHURH.
THE CHURCH WAS DEPENDENT ON THE
FEUDAL SYSTEM


CHURCHES CONTROLLED A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF LOCAL LAND , FROM
WHICH THEY DERIVED AN INCOME IN
THE FORM OF A SHARE OF THE
PRODUCE.
THE CHURCH ALSO COLLECTED
TITHES AND STIPENDS FOR SERVICES.
AFTERLIFE IN MEDIEVAL
TIMES


HEAVEN- A PLACE WHERE THEIR
EARTHLY SORROWS WOULD END
HELL- A PLACE WHERE THEIR
TORMENTS WOULD CONTINUE FOR
ETERNITY.
WHAT REALLY MATTER?




POSSESSIONS DO NOT MATTER TO
GOD!
HE CARES ABOUT WHO WE ARE!
CHRISTIANS LOVE AND WORSHIP GOD
ABOVE ALL THINGS
OUR LOVE OF GOD KEEPS US FROM
BECOMING ATTACHED TO WORDLY
THINGS.
GALILEO


WAS CALLED TO APPEAR BEFORE THE
HOLY OFFICE OF THE INQUISITION IN
ROME.
HE WAS INVESTIGATED BECAUSE HE
BELIEVED THAT THE EARTH
REVOLVED AROUND THE SUN, WHICH
CONFLICTED WITH THE TEACHING OF
THE CHURCH.
GALILEO’S DAUGHTER



SISTER CELESTE WROTE LETTERS TO
HER FATHER TO SHOW HER SUPPORT
AND REMIND HIM TO TRUST IN GOD.
HER LIFE IN THE CONVENT WAS NOT
EASY DUE TO A LACK OF MATERIAL
THINGS.
THE LACK OF MATERIAL THINGS LET
THE SISTERS KNOW GOD BETTER!
