The 500th Anniversary of the Reformation is being celebrated this year, 2017. Why? Because historians acknowledge and date the beginning of the Reformation to October 31, 1517, the day Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany.
20. Therefore, the pope understands by the phrase "plenary remission of all penalties" not actually "all penalties" but only "penalties imposed by himself."
This leads to his "And so" statement challenging the indulgence preachers tomorrow.
Please note that I will be using Timothy Wengert's "95 Theses with Introduction, Commentary, and Study Guide." If you don't have a copy, pick one up, it is an excellent resource.
Lord Jesus, you are the way, the truth, and the life for all who seek your wisdom and grace. Amen.
