  • A new “humanist” culture had flowered in Italian towns. 
  • It was characterised by a new belief-that man, as an individual was capable of making his own decisions and developing his skills. 
  • Another important feature of humanist culture was a weakening of the control of religion over human life. 
  • Humanists considered the acquisition of power and wealth as desirable and not something to be avoided. Humanist scholars began attacking the corruption of priests and questioning the need for a priesthood and its interpretation of Christianity. 
  • The humanist members of the Church called on Christians to practise religion in the way laid down in the ancient texts of their religion, discarding unnecessary rituals.
