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.
22. On the contrary, to souls in purgatory he remits no penalty that they should have paid in this life according to canon law.
Luther continues his argument against the pope's authority in non-temporal matters.
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 make us whole and you lead us home. Amen.
