Last updated on: August 27, 2022 at 4:57 pm By Arthur Jordan

Martin Luther’s 95 Theses are in public domain, and you can read them at here. Thesis 6 The Pope cannot remit any guilt, except by declaring and showing that it has been remitted by God; or, to be sure, by remitting guilt in cases reserved to his judgment. If his right to grant remission in these cases were disregarded, the guilt would certainly remain unforgiven. The thesis is orthodox. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) says: 1441 Only...

What did Calvin teach about the Eucharist (Holy Supper)? A Catholic Perspective.

Last updated on: August 20, 2022 at 7:54 am By Arthur Jordan

Calvin’s perspective Calvin rejects both Zwingli’s teaching, which he considered that eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Christ simply meant believing in Christ, and the teaching that the Eucharist is simply as a kind of spiritual participation. ⠀ ⠀ For him, souls are truly nourished by the body and blood of Christ through the operation of the Holy Spirit.

The conflicts, however, continued. They continued with us, Catholics, and among them, and among those of the same confession. Luther’s movement contributed to remarkable events within the Catholic Church. One of them, the best known and commendable, is the... Read more
