• selling indulgences was one way to forgive sins

• the Pope was infallible (could do no wrong)

One way in which the writers of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment thinkers were similar is that they

• promoted the religious doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church

• showed little interest in secular affairs

• produced no new scientific ideas

• argued against the establishment of a theocratic state

• protested against the ideas of the Enlightenment

• died during the Reign of Terror

• challenged the teachings of the Catholic Church
