Causation What caused Girolamo Savonarola to call for the church to melt down its gold and silver ornaments? Analysis and Appropriate Use of Evidence How did the response of Pope Alexander to Savonarola's work serve as evidence of the church's stance on reform at that time?
A monk named Girolamo Savonarola (sahv-oh-nuh-ROH-luh) was one of the first reformers to try to change the church from within. During the late 1400s, he preached fiery sermons against the abuses of the church. He called for churches to melt down their gold and silver ornaments to buy bread for the hungry and poor members of the church. Savonarola convinced people to gather and burn jewelry and trinkets. This enormous fire was known as “the bonfire of the vanities.” Pope Alexander at first allowed Savonarola’s work but eventually excommunicated him for spreading ideas the pope thought dangerous. In 1498, Savonarola was executed at Florence.
