Theses 27: They preach only human doctrines who say that as soon as the money clinks into the money chest, the soul flies out of purgatory. Luther was implying that this was how the indulgence preachers tried to sell the idea that buying an indulgence will get you out of purgatory.
its was in the the 1500's were Martin Luther was convinced that catholics were wrong about peoples indulgence and so he wrote the ninety-five theses to say prove that Christianity is better. it was an attempt to reform the Catholic Church.
Pope Leo X needed money to contiue building St Peter's Basilica and offered indulgences for those who gave alms to rebuild St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. (An indulgence is a remission of temporal punishment due to sin, the guilt of which has been forgiven.) A Dominican monk, Johann Tetzel was an active seller of indulgences. This provoked Martin Luther to write his Ninety-Five Theses, condemning what he saw as the purchase and sale of salvation. The Ninety-Five Theses denounced such transactions as worldly. Also in the 95 theses Luther said - an indugence can never remit guilt only God can do that. - an indlgence cannot remit divine punishment for sin, that also is in God's hands alone. - an indulgence has no efficacy for souls in purgatory. - the Christian who has truly repented has already received a pardon from God and needs no indulgence.
The singular form of "theses" is "thesis."
His main purpose in challenging the Church with the posting of the 95 theses was that he disagreed with the selling of indulgences. An indulgence is the full or partial forgiveness of mortal sins for payment. These payments were going to the building of St. Peter's Basilica. They were basically get-into-heaven-for-a-price card.
Indulgence is a remission/absolution from your sins given by the priests. It could be a good deed or some prayers, or helping the poor, or going on to the Crusades. The trouble with indulgences came when more often the Church charged a sum of money for absolution/pardon. Martin Luther started Reformation (1517) with his 95 theses on Church abuses including selling indulgenses.
Theses on Feuerbach was created in 1888.
Martin Luther's criticism of the Catholic Church was written in a his famous pamphlet called "95 Theses". It was basically a critism against the indulgence which was put into practice by the Catholic Church during the papacy of Pope Leo X..In which, for Luther, indulgence is being sold.That the congregation of the church should be able to understand what the priest is saying. That the priests should not get the people to pay to 'get into heaven' because he believed that you can't pay to get into heaven and the money that the people gave them they spent on themselves
Because many of theses myths were inspired by sightings of extra terrestrials visiting man in the past. Man explained what they were seing by assuming they were gods, goddesses and mythological creatures.
