Savonarola's Call for Church Reform

Economic prosperity depends on lavish displays of wealth and the accumulation of riches by church leaders, reflecting divine favor.

Religious art and architecture should continue to showcase opulence as a testament to the Church’s enduring power and glory.

The Church should return to a model of strict moral discipline and simplicity, rejecting the excesses and corruption of its current leadership.

The salvation of souls is best achieved through elaborate rituals and ceremonial grandeur, rather than austerity and self-examination.
