Worked Solution & Example Answer:Sources F and G (i) For criticising Calvin at a banquet, Pierre Ameaux, a city official, was forced to do penance - Junior Cycle History - Question B. - 2017
Step 1
For criticising Calvin at a banquet, Pierre Ameaux, a city official, was forced to do penance. Do you think his punishment was too severe? Give one piece of evidence from Source F to support your answer.
Answer
Yes, Calvin should have been able to tolerate criticism or deal with it in a Christian manner. The public humiliation that Ameaux faced was vindictive and hateful. Evidence from Source F indicates that Ameaux was a city official who publicly criticised Calvin and thus deserved some punishment. However, this punishment does not seem severe when compared to the more harsh punishments described in other contexts.
Step 2
From your study of the Reformation, why do you think Pierre Ameaux's sentence was “publicly announced”?
Answer
The sentence was publicly announced to highlight his punishment and to warn others not to criticise Calvin publicly. This was necessary because Ameaux had openly criticized Calvin, and such announcements served as a deterrent for others.
