3. MANILA, Philippines—A deed of absolute sale pertaining to a 303.5-square-meter
condominium unit in Taguig City in the name of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato
Corona and wife, Cristina, was presented by a witness during the impeachment trial on
Thursday.
...The deed of sale, Barzaga said, covered one condominium unit with an area of 303.5
square meters and three parking slots with an area of 12.50 square meters each listed
in separate condominium certificate of titles.
“For the record also, I would like to manifest that the selling price as indicated in this
deed of absolute sale is P14,510,225,” said Barzaga.
“And further, I’d like to manifest that, in the SALN (statement of assets, liabilities and
net worth) which was presented and identified, these Taguig properties were declared
for the first time in the SALN of the respondent, Chief Justice Renato Corona, for the
year 2010,” Barzaga added.
4. Impeachment is a formal process in which an official is accused
of unlawful activity, the outcome of which, depending on the
country, may include the removal of that official from office as
well as other punishment.
SALN- statement of assets ,liabilities and networth
The governing law is Republic Act No. 6713, otherwise known
as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public
Officials and Employees.
The SALN is the badge of honor of the honest civil servant that
must be accomplished with pride. It shows that an employee did
not exploit his or her public office for illegal gain. On the other
hand, it is a prosecutorial tool against those who misuse their
office in order to enrich themselves.
5. Brainstorm before you begin:
The Protestant Reformation is sweeping
across Central Europe, England, and even
Scandinavia! You have been hired by the
Pope to develop ideas that the Church can
implement in order to stop believers from
converting to these heretical faiths. What are
your top 3 ideas? Hurry, you must act quickly,
or Protestantism may overrun Europe!
6. The Counter Reformation
1530s-1648
The Catholic Church’s Response to the
Protestant Reformation
7. The Counter Reformation
The Church had two tactics:
Reform the Church from Stop the Spread of
Within Protestantism
Council of Trent
Water Torture during the Inquisition
8. What does this sentence mean?
I recognize the Holy Catholic and Apostolic
Roman Church as the Mother and Mistress of
all churches; and I vow and swear true
obedience to the Roman Pontiff. (Pope)
This is an excerpt from a statement that was written during the Council of Trent.
The Council of Trent was a large meeting held by the Catholic Church to discuss
the issue of Protestantism. Based on this excerpt, predict whether they made
significant changes to their beliefs.
9. Reform Within the Church
The Council of Trent (1545-1563)
Purpose: The Church held three meetings to discuss reform AND
define dogma (official teachings)
Some areas were actually reformed
Called for the education of priests
Improved discipline and administration among the clergy
Indulgences got banned after the Council finished its meetings
But many teachings were not changed, and were instead
reinforced; the ideas of the Protestants were rejected
You need faith AND good works to achieve salvation
7 sacraments, not just 2
Bible is written in Latin, not the vernacular language
Pope is supreme leader
Man has free will (your fate is NOT predestined)
10. Reform Within the Church
The Council helped revitalize the Catholic Church,
as did the creation of new Catholic groups
These new religious orders were created to focus on
performing charity and good works
This reaffirmed the Catholic tradition that one
needed more than just faith to be saved
Lived among the poor and sick
Strengthened rural parishes
Encouraged pious and simple living
11. Stopping the Spread of Protestantism
The Church also tried to prove that it was still a
powerful institution, just like it had been in the Middle
Ages
It continued to stress its orthodox teachings during
the Counter-Reformation, and was usually very
intolerant of different ways of thinking.
The Church also took measures to reassert its
authority in the following ways:
The Jesuits
The Inquisition
The Index of Prohibited Books
12. Stopping the Spread of Protestantism
The Society of Jesus: The Jesuits
A religious group founded by Ignatius Loyola
in 1540
Promoted education
Famous for missionary work
Strived to gain political influence
Countered the populist Protestant
Reformation by working top-down and
counseling kings and princes
Also a bit fanatical in their devotion…
13. What does this quote by Loyola mean?
“We should
always be
disposed to
believe that that
which appears
white is really
black, if the
hierarchy of the
Church so
decides.”
14. Stopping the Spread of Protestantism
Index (List) of Banned Books
Created in 1559 by the Pope
Purpose was to prevent heresy (make sure you
know what this word means) and ensure books
were morally correct
Banned both Protestant literature and texts by
some intellectuals, like Erasmus

15. Stopping the Spread of Protestantism
The Inquisition
Why?
General purpose was to discover heretics (mostly Jews and Muslims, but
also Protestants), reinforce Catholic doctrine, and prove the power of the
Church
When?
1400s-1800s
Where?
Mostly Spain and Italy
Different variations took place
across Europe, but it was most notorious
in Spain
Ironic! (These places were strongholds of Catholicism)
How?
The accused were put
on trial and were guilty
until proven innocent…
Torture was used to elicit
confessions
16. Stopping the Spread of Protestantism
Auto-da-fe: “Act of Faith”, a public
trial that was usually followed by
torture or execution
17. Was the Counter-Reformation
a success?
The Church did not win back many of the “lost
souls” that had converted to Protestantism…
But, it shed its reputation for corruption and it
spread widely through missionary work
19. Based on the divisions on the preceding map, can you
predict what will happen in Europe next?
Massive bloodshed and warfare as members of the different
religions battle with each other.
