3:25 Not quite exact. The inquisition was banned from judging indigenous people after the first trial they made towards one of them. The church decided that natives were not under the inquisition's jurisdiction because they were not heretics nor infidels, but innocent ignorant pagans.
@@wandererofclouds Indeed. I'd share some sources with you, but I ignore if there is a secondary source I could point you to, specially in English. I mean: I actually had to go to Mexico's national archives just to find it.
@@wandererofclouds Oh, no! It's not because it's being censored. It's just because the human tendency to just look after shocking and surprising things. But colonial times were really boring in Spain's territories then and most sources are just mountains of legal stuff no one cares about. It's like a dark age but upside down: instead of too little information, we have too many and most of it has not been looked on. And because of that, it's not reproduced, translated or used in any way. Which makes the same result. This makes me wonder if that's what's going to happen to the internet. I guess it won't because our times are interesting like 2016 was crazy, I bet a lot of historians will want to check it out in a couple of centuries.
@@somedragontoslay2579 Ohhhhh!! Okay. I understand. I won't be too quick to judge like that again. That is crazy to think about of having too much information for anyone to care about. There is way too much information from the Internet and there will definitely be a ton of unlooked information except certain years. Thank you for the information.
"If I were a tiny baby Jesus, I would wear a fancy dress." In the Philippines, we call the Infant of Prague the Santo Niño (Holy Child), and boy is he a big deal here. You'll find Tiny Baby Jesus sometimes dressed in a policeman or mall cop's uniform, as a tiny baby farmer or a tiny baby basketball player.
that's really cool! over here, in the Czech republic, we do dress up our tiny baby Jesus a lot, but I haven't seen it him in a police uniform yet. there is a tiny museum dedicated to his wardrobe though, and every few new outfits get into the local news.
I'm so happy they brought up Artemisia Gentileschi!! She was a badass in art and in life. She was the first woman admitted into an art academy in Florence, friends with Medici and Galileo and other influential people, her chiaroscuro was easily comparable to Caravaggio's, and she just gained so much success in a time that was against women. Her art shows female protagonists who were brave and powerful and defiant, equals to any men. She didn't let her trauma consume her life. She rose above it. I admire her strength a lot.
Actually the selling of indulgences were prohibited right after the council by Pope St. Pius on the year 1567, but the indulgences themselves were still retained and could be obtained only by particular acts of piety
@@stardust86x Actually I might suspect that book is called the Raccolta, it is a traditional book enlisting the various ways of attaining indulgences such as kissing the ring of the pope or other prelates of the Church. That book does not merit indulgences, but is a good reference to attain one.
We tend to incorrectly think of indulgences as something you pay for to get into Heaven, but more often they are tied to actions moreso than money. We have to remember that to the people of the past, money was more clearly a means to an end rather than an end in itself. The gift of just money without a reason for it was largely worthless to medieval man. It isn't that way today because money is now much more powerful than other worldly sources of power.
I attended a Jesuit university and have tried to practice Ignatian spirituality in my adult life, and I've always been very attracted to the intellectual rigor that lies at the heart of it.
eace you are wrong, jesuits make a great difference when they are teaching, between secular and religious subjects. For example, to become a jesuit priest, first you need to have a degree in a secular science (chemistry, like the pope, math, engineering, etc) then you start your theological studies. I went to a private school since kinder garden run by jesuits, and we saw the theory of evolution, contraception, and all the stuff that people say catholics are against, we saw it in the school. Just because they are religious order, doesnt mean they are stupid or blinded by their beliefs. I identified my self as an agnostic and i am against religious zealots, but i must admit that the knowledge i was given by my jesuits teachers was top quality.
Thank you for talking about Artemisia Gentileschi. She is such an overlooked artist, while her art is on par or sometimes better than her contemporaries'.
The efficiency of the Jesuits was something that protestants found very intimidating. In Sweden, there were frequent (and baseless) panics that a conspiracy of Jesuits was aiming to put the Catholic king of Poland on the Swedish throne. Polish kings had a claim, but Jesuits were never involved.
I absolutely adore this series and how John Green talks about History. I'm currently studying for my final exams in history and you've provided immense help. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the care you put into highlighting women's stories. It's natural, but always surprising when, like me, you've only ever heard of men in history classes. The story of the painter was very touching. Thank you for sharing it.

Current School system, based upon study subjects (math, languages, physics, biology etc.) was actualy created by the Jesuits.
Harry Paul wasn’t the muslim world pretty moderate around this time? Didn’t they only start to swing back into extremism in the 1790s with the birth of Wahhabism? Maybe Shirvan of Caspian Report can make a video about it.
@@armorsmith43 it depends. There were periods of peace, of course. But it always depended on the particular region and the will of the ruling monarch. Example: the Mu'tazilite school of theology, basically the only one in Islam that postulated that people have some sort of free will, became the official ideology under one caliph in 833, its opponents being persecuted and sometimes killed. 15 years later, under a new caliph, the trend was reversed. This time the opposing school of theology was declared true, while I quote: "Muʿtazilite doctrines were repudiated; their professors persecuted; Shi’ites, Jews, and Christians were also persecuted."
I will point out the obvious logical fallacy of your comment, with your inference that talking about a topic such as "The Reformation" or "Counter-Reformation" is somehow an endorsement of the faith associated with that topic. Specifically your use of the word "praise", I would proffer that this would be better stated as "coverage", and on that point, I would agree with you that the Reformation seems to get more coverage than the Counter-Reformation.
@@SMC247 I'm sorry for the fallacy. What I meant to say was that I was glad that the Counter-Reformation was getting coverage. Coverage is the key word here
"Infiltration" by Dr. Taylor Marshall has written a book regarding the history of the Church after the reformation and how it all went down. It runs that history up to to the present day.
I do want to thank you for not only having 2 full episodes on the counter-reformation (I remember you had one in another history series) when most history TH-cam content tends to treat it as a footnote, but being fair about it’s contributions and effects in history. I feel like this channel in general has always tried to be fair in general about matters of faith, which is unfortunately rare on TH-cam.
(1) If it didn't always work within Europe, the 'Counter' (incl Jesuit work and revivalist fervour) did confirm Roman Catholicism in many former colonies around the world (especially Latin America and, later, Africa). The oddest one is Philippines, overwhelmingly Christian (and Catholic). (2) nice to see some church art which was most people's ONLY experience of art/culture back then. The Protestant mob destroyed over 90% of church art (therefore, of public art) in Scotland

Thank you for presenting these facts i.e. both the good and bad of the church in a respectable way. I find that sometimes, people who do not agree with the church or have had bad experiences (which of course is terrible) tend to have a condescending tone when explaining the history of the church. I like that you presented the truth in an honest and respectable way. Thank you.
I'm looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully, it will explain how the belief in magic and especially the persecution of people accused of witchcraft (associated with the "dark" Middle Ages) actually increased in early modern Europe (arguably even more so in the protestant areas), challenging the oversimplified ideas of progress.
I like how he said he isn’t going to try to pronounce Saint Teresa of Avila’s full name because it’s hard to pronounce but he ended up mispronouncing Avila anyway.
In my country, the Netherlands, you can really tell that the north was more protestant and the south more catholic by the architecture. The architecture in the north is much more sober, and the south has a more decorative, exuberant style. This distinction is at least partly (that I know of) caused by the river which made for a very good border. (Some cities are new(er), or had to rebuild, so exceptions occur.)
Jup, and also the more southern parts of the Netherlands, now Belgium, where occupied by the Spanish (needles to say, Catholic) forces, having a huge influence
Watching this series has given me a couple ideas that I think would make really great series as well: History of China, like a DEEP dive and also Music History
Not from the US. I took a class on North American history in university, and the first two months were dedicated to religion, because , surprise, it has a huge impact on how people act. A good part of that class was analizing how and why USA and Mexico (and the rest of LA) had such different starts from the point of one was colonized by protestan England and German groups, while the other was conquered by catholic Spain
Unfortunately yeah, because its based off our college Intro to Western Civilization and our AP European History course. Its a shame too. I loved learning about the history of places and rulers in Eastern Europe.
Even it might not be thought favorably from the viewpoint of counter-reformation, I like the humanistic multiculturalism in the picture on the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo. I love it as one of the masterpieces showing the emergence by international cultural interaction 💖.
I really like your channel but you should know that Teresa of Avila eventually rejected the practice of self-flagellation. She came to regard it as a practice based on a limited understanding of the path to spiritual perfection. She wrote about it.
Jesuits not also stole techniques from Asia, but also brought new ones to them. One of these techniques Jesuits brought to Asia (Japan) was how to create bread/loaves. The word for bread in Japanese is Pan from the Portuguese Pão. This is due to "ão/õe" phoneme only existing in Portuguese and Arabic. It is a hard nasal sound that end up being used as in Japanese with "an". Jesuits also brought crops that were not in Japan previous to their arrival like Pumpkin, from Cambodia and tobacco.
Henry VIII wasn't really a protestant. He was a protestant for the sake of getting a diverce and absolute power and wealth. But he ran the place like a Catholic kingdom with a king instead of a pope. Priests who were married when Protestantism initially came to England were soon told they were not allowed to be married.
When you reach the Enlightenment, will you also do an episode on the Counter-Enlightenment? It would help explain the intellectual roots of many reactionary currents in 19th Century/20th Century/contemporary politics.
JG, the very first thing I’ve known about you was your episode on Frankenstein, a crash course literature pearl. Back then, a friend that was a teen, and now is allowed to drink in the USA, dared me to get to know you, and read The fault in our stars. As a counterpart, he should read Persuasion. The point was, he saying “try to understand a teen’s perspective of life”, and I was like “try to figure out how women life is like”. Well, I got a the big prize. I’m not sure if my friend had ever read Jane Austen’s masterpiece, but I’ve started following Crash Course Literature, and whatever you are into. The fault... was a blast. I’m a researcher, interested in death as a research topic. I had never seen anyone talking so plainly about how teenager could face dying. I’m also a feminist, and I can’t wait for you perspective (or witty presentation) of witchcraft.
I think it’s important to note that the Council of Trent was initially a hoped for reconciliation. Luther and others of his leading thinkers and other Protestant leaders were all invited. Luther declined but others came. Unfortunately, the Church’s view on reconciliation was unwilling to accept some of the key changes, especially about the Pope. So, the Protestants left, and thus the rest of the meetings trended towards more Catholicism. Also, the Council did not meet continuously for 18 years, but in various bigger blocks of time. It was in the latter meetings, where the Protestants had refused to come, that the key decisions hardened into the Counter-Reformation. The Catholic Reformation and the Counter Reformation are related, but different issues. The view of the start of the Council of Trent reflects this as there was initially only this sense of finding common ground with Protestants, and then returning, hopefully, to a reformed Universal Church. When that didn’t happen, tools like the Index and people like Loyola ramped up their efforts.
I had totally forgot the Infant of Prague..... The incongruity never struck me (or my parents) when I was immersed in the Catholic milieu and since leaving have not come across this particular bit of barminess again. Thanks for the reminder.
Whilst indulgences are still a part of the Catholic Faith, the SALE of indulgences was prohibited before and after the Council of Trent. John, I expect better of you and Crash Course! By the way, the Teresian Reform is called "Discalced', not "Discalceate'. But a good explanation of Teresa and her Reform. I belong to the Third Order of the unreformed Carmelites.
Doesnt matter if they were banned or not, they were "sold". Just like when you donate a few million dollars to a college. Its illegal to pay for your kid to get in, but we all know that when someone donates an entire building they _are_ basically paying for entrance. Same goes on today. When i was sick a Catholic friend "donated" to some special church with a special Saint and that got me on their prayer list to be prayed for in that church. He basically paid for me to be prayed for, but no Catholic would ever actually say thats how it went down.
Must admit, I'm still waiting to see if in this history series there will show up countries that aren't just England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and so on. Ya'know, only the west/central part of Europe. Because Europe is far larger than that.
Hello John, big fan of crash course. You have talked about in another video about how the dark ages weren't so dark outside of Europe, how there was innovation in agriculture, trade and engineering in China, India and the middle east. I would love for there to be a course about in depth history of Africa and the middle East during the middle age, how countries that were so adamant about teaching science and mathematics stopped being the center of innovation and transitioned to more destructive things.
8:46 "mispronouncing things is my thing". It would have been funny that you had tried to pronounce "Sánchez de Cepeda", because there is no unique way. Most of the Spanish speakers pronouce 'z' and 'c' as 's' in 'sing', but in Northen Spain (including Ávila) is pronounced as 'th' in 'thing'. By the way, Ávila is pronounced A-bi-la and not a-VI-la, with the stress in the first syllable and the 'v' always as a 'b' ("beati Hispani, quibus bibere vivere est", Latin pun meaning "happy Spaniards, for whom drinking is living", because in Hispania both words were pronounced in the same way).

John, is your semi-buttoned collar meant to reflect the duality between the reformation and the counter-reformation ? :-)

This distinction is at least partly (that I know of) caused by the river which made for a very good border.
(Some cities are new(er), or had to rebuild, so exceptions occur.)
Jup, and also the more southern parts of the Netherlands, now Belgium, where occupied by the Spanish (needles to say, Catholic) forces, having a huge influence
Watching this series has given me a couple ideas that I think would make really great series as well: History of China, like a DEEP dive and also Music History
FunkyHonkyCDXX the only problem is DEEP dive and CrashCourse are oxymoronic.
@@elaineandjohn9599 A very good point
I'd like any topic not really discussed in our curriculum here in the US. Our history books suck :(
Check out Krait, he's made a good video on the topic and will be making more China history videos in future
artemisia gentileschi’s story breaks my heart...been through something similar. i wish she could have had proper help when she needed it.
Is anyone else incredibly distracted by his collar only having one of the buttons buttoned?
Evan so much lol
I am now
Finally !! Someone said it !!!
john is the best history teacher I've ever had
Wonderful, each and every video you post.
thank you for showing artemesia’s work. one of my favorite pieces. have you read the novel blood water paint by joy mccullough?
Very fair video. Bravo!
Great work guys. I just hope you don't lose an arm and a leg putting together the next episode. (Or your brother! Run Hank!)
Not from the US. I took a class on North American history in university, and the first two months were dedicated to religion, because , surprise, it has a huge impact on how people act. A good part of that class was analizing how and why USA and Mexico (and the rest of LA) had such different starts from the point of one was colonized by protestan England and German groups, while the other was conquered by catholic Spain
Christianity had already existed in Kerala, India long before it reached Britain even
Something tells me, despite the name "European History" only Western Europe is actually going to be discussed here.
Slavic history always gets ignored in America.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 It's not well known and it had seemingly little impact on America.
Just like the real AP class!
Unfortunately yeah, because its based off our college Intro to Western Civilization and our AP European History course. Its a shame too. I loved learning about the history of places and rulers in Eastern Europe.
Even it might not be thought favorably from the viewpoint of counter-reformation,
I like the humanistic multiculturalism in the picture on the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo.
I love it as one of the masterpieces showing the emergence by international cultural interaction 💖.
I really like your channel but you should know that Teresa of Avila eventually rejected the practice of self-flagellation. She came to regard it as a practice based on a limited understanding of the path to spiritual perfection. She wrote about it.
Wow I'm SO exited for next episode
Noah Wilson exited the chat
never expect that European history will become this spicy
You brought up Artemisia gentileschi!!! She's so underloved, man. I love it.
6:17 That is Loyola College, Chennai, India written in Tamil, a classical language that is 3000 years old. Love from India❤️
i love the thought bubble animation
Jesuits not also stole techniques from Asia, but also brought new ones to them. One of these techniques Jesuits brought to Asia (Japan) was how to create bread/loaves. The word for bread in Japanese is Pan from the Portuguese Pão. This is due to "ão/õe" phoneme only existing in Portuguese and Arabic. It is a hard nasal sound that end up being used as in Japanese with "an". Jesuits also brought crops that were not in Japan previous to their arrival like Pumpkin, from Cambodia and tobacco.
Good God I missed you John Green thanks for one more awesome video...!
Yo I love this mans videos its really helping me with my exams and now my junior cert this man is better than my teacher 10/10
The counter reformation pushed the European artists to make the most beautifull pieces of art ever made! Like if you agree!
"Powerful individuals and the status quo.. greatest love story of all time" (2:19)
What happen with #10?
Henry VIII wasn't really a protestant. He was a protestant for the sake of getting a diverce and absolute power and wealth. But he ran the place like a Catholic kingdom with a king instead of a pope. Priests who were married when Protestantism initially came to England were soon told they were not allowed to be married.
When you reach the Enlightenment, will you also do an episode on the Counter-Enlightenment? It would help explain the intellectual roots of many reactionary currents in 19th Century/20th Century/contemporary politics.
JG, the very first thing I’ve known about you was your episode on Frankenstein, a crash course literature pearl. Back then, a friend that was a teen, and now is allowed to drink in the USA, dared me to get to know you, and read The fault in our stars. As a counterpart, he should read Persuasion. The point was, he saying “try to understand a teen’s perspective of life”, and I was like “try to figure out how women life is like”. Well, I got a the big prize. I’m not sure if my friend had ever read Jane Austen’s masterpiece, but I’ve started following Crash Course Literature, and whatever you are into. The fault... was a blast. I’m a researcher, interested in death as a research topic. I had never seen anyone talking so plainly about how teenager could face dying. I’m also a feminist, and I can’t wait for you perspective (or witty presentation) of witchcraft.
Oh my god as a tamil (speaker/reader) seeing the Loyola institute in tamil on this English Channel was very very exciting :) what a shoutout !
No one will expect John to cover the Spanish Inquisition.
I think it’s important to note that the Council of Trent was initially a hoped for reconciliation. Luther and others of his leading thinkers and other Protestant leaders were all invited. Luther declined but others came. Unfortunately, the Church’s view on reconciliation was unwilling to accept some of the key changes, especially about the Pope. So, the Protestants left, and thus the rest of the meetings trended towards more Catholicism. Also, the Council did not meet continuously for 18 years, but in various bigger blocks of time. It was in the latter meetings, where the Protestants had refused to come, that the key decisions hardened into the Counter-Reformation. The Catholic Reformation and the Counter Reformation are related, but different issues. The view of the start of the Council of Trent reflects this as there was initially only this sense of finding common ground with Protestants, and then returning, hopefully, to a reformed Universal Church. When that didn’t happen, tools like the Index and people like Loyola ramped up their efforts.
Love this series. Also John why you not as upbeat as you used to be...? Makes me sad
Crystal Brooks I think it is because he is five years older with little kids. That saps your energy.
Agreed, @michael leone
What about the Byzantines, the Ottomans and the Balkans? Great channel by the way!
Please add this video to the playlist. I almost missed it.
I had totally forgot the Infant of Prague..... The incongruity never struck me (or my parents) when I was immersed in the Catholic milieu and since leaving have not come across this particular bit of barminess again. Thanks for the reminder.
10:25 OMG! I love that ceiling painting of Chiesa di Sant' Ignazio di Loyola
Man I love your videos
Another glorious episode.
Cool video!
Whilst indulgences are still a part of the Catholic Faith, the SALE of indulgences was prohibited before and after the Council of Trent. John, I expect better of you and Crash Course! By the way, the Teresian Reform is called "Discalced', not "Discalceate'. But a good explanation of Teresa and her Reform. I belong to the Third Order of the unreformed Carmelites.
Doesnt matter if they were banned or not, they were "sold". Just like when you donate a few million dollars to a college. Its illegal to pay for your kid to get in, but we all know that when someone donates an entire building they _are_ basically paying for entrance. Same goes on today. When i was sick a Catholic friend "donated" to some special church with a special Saint and that got me on their prayer list to be prayed for in that church. He basically paid for me to be prayed for, but no Catholic would ever actually say thats how it went down.
Do a music theory series please!
great video
Can you guys do a crash course on quorum sensing
john is so much less crazy and spontaneous in his videos now, he’s still really awesome
Must admit, I'm still waiting to see if in this history series there will show up countries that aren't just England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and so on. Ya'know, only the west/central part of Europe. Because Europe is far larger than that.
Hello John, big fan of crash course.
You have talked about in another video about how the dark ages weren't so dark outside of Europe, how there was innovation in agriculture, trade and engineering in China, India and the middle east.
I would love for there to be a course about in depth history of Africa and the middle East during the middle age, how countries that were so adamant about teaching science and mathematics stopped being the center of innovation and transitioned to more destructive things.
Look up Caspian Report on TH-cam. They have a great 5 part series on the rise and decline of Islamic science
2:12 I feel like this image has great meme potential
They weren't teaching they were basically the same. They were teaching that their beliefs were partly right, but the completion was in Jesus Christ
thankyou.gif
8:46 "mispronouncing things is my thing".
It would have been funny that you had tried to pronounce "Sánchez de Cepeda", because there is no unique way. Most of the Spanish speakers pronouce 'z' and 'c' as 's' in 'sing', but in Northen Spain (including Ávila) is pronounced as 'th' in 'thing'.
By the way, Ávila is pronounced A-bi-la and not a-VI-la, with the stress in the first syllable and the 'v' always as a 'b' ("beati Hispani, quibus bibere vivere est", Latin pun meaning "happy Spaniards, for whom drinking is living", because in Hispania both words were pronounced in the same way).
Can someone please give me the name of the painting at 1:39 in which Pope Paul is looking at Martin Luther’s portrait. I’ve looked for it everywhere!
Love European History!
The best of Histories!
Love European history
How can I make a comic book about the Council of Trent?
Anyone else here go to a Jesuit school?
Didn't personally, but Boston College is about 40 minutes away from me, and Holy Cross is about 30 or so.
You haven't add this video to your crash course European History playlist yet
Baroque Artists: "Where you blinded by it's Majesty?"
Peasent: "Blinded?"
will you do a crash course world history again ?
