Paying for redemption.
The camarlengo takes care of the day to day running of the Church in the absence of a pope. He only carries out basic administrative duties and can make no major decisions. During this time his main concerns are planning the funeral of the previous pope as well as arranging the conclave that will elect a new pope,
42. Christians are to be taught that the pope does not intend the buying of pardons to be compared in any way to works of mercy.
Martin Luther's teachings inspired the peasants to revolt because his debate with the pope was so famous that they heard about it
Martin Luther strongly opposed the authority of the pope, viewing it as an unbiblical institution that undermined the true teachings of Christianity. He believed that salvation came through faith alone and not through the intercession of the pope or the Church. Luther argued that individuals should have direct access to God and the Scriptures, rejecting the pope's claims to spiritual supremacy. His critiques were central to the Protestant Reformation, which sought to reform the Church's practices and diminish papal power.
There is normally only ONE pope. There have been two occasions when a pope has retired, one of which was Pope Benedict XVI in 2013, who resigned over health concerns and was succeeded by Pope Francis (Francis I).Clarification:There have been about 12 papal resignations for one reason or the other in the 2000 year history of the papacy.
There is no pope of Protestant churches. In fact, you could say that one of the main reasons for the Protestant Reformation was not to have a pope!
No. Henry VIII's opposition to Luther earned him the title "Defender of the Faith" from Pope Leo X. but then when the pope wouldntgive Henry a divorce, Henry turned against him, began supporting luthers veiws, and made his own 'church of England', of which he was head.
That is pretty simple, Martin Luther was trying to remove Christ's duly appointed Vicar over His Church: the pope in Rome, and replace him, as the final arbiter of religious doctrine with himself!
The main religion of the world is Catholic. The Pope is the head leader of the Catholic.
His main quarrel with theology was that it did not say that Martin Luther was pope, and that only the Church could interpret the Scriptures which she had written and guaranteed instead of himself. Further, the theology of his day called him to be holy, and to follow Christ's commands, which, though based on the Ten Commandments, were far stricter. Martin Luther wanted to sin boldly and still be saved, he did not want to follow the Scriptural admonition that faith without works was dead.
it was that henry did not have a son
