When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, &#8220;Repent&#8221;<br \/>\n (Matthew 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one<br \/>\n of repentance.<P><\/p>\n<p> 2.  This word cannot be understood as referring to the<br \/>\n sacrament of penance, that is, confession and satisfaction,<br \/>\n as administered by the clergy.<P><\/p>\n<p> 3.  Yet it does not mean solely inner repentance; such<br \/>\n inner repentance is worthless unless it produces various<br \/>\n outward mortification of the flesh.<P><\/p>\n<p> 4.  The penalty of sin remains as long as the hatred of<br \/>\n self (that is, true inner repentance), namely till our<br \/>\n entrance into the kingdom of heaven.<P><\/p>\n<p> 5.  The pope neither desires nor is able to remit any<br \/>\n penalties except those imposed by his own authority or that<br \/>\n of the canons.<br \/><!--more--><br \/>6.  The pope cannot remit any guilt, except by declaring<br \/>\n and showing that it has been remitted by God; or, to be<br \/>\n sure, by remitting guilt in cases reserved to his judgment.<br \/>\n If his right to grant remission in these cases were<br \/>\n disregarded, the guilt would certainly remain unforgiven.<P><\/p>\n<p> 7.  God remits guilt to no one unless at the same time he<br \/>\n humbles him in all things and makes him submissive to the<br \/>\n vicar, the priest.<P><\/p>\n<p> 8.  The penitential canons are imposed only on the living,<br \/>\n and, according to the canons themselves, nothing should be<br \/>\n imposed on the dying.<P><\/p>\n<p> 9.  Therefore the Holy Spirit through the pope is kind to<br \/>\n us insofar as the pope in his decrees always makes<br \/>\n exception of the article of death and of necessity.<P><\/p>\n<p> 10.  Those priests act ignorantly and wickedly who, in the<br \/>\n case of the dying, reserve canonical penalties for<br \/>\n purgatory.<P><\/p>\n<p> 11.  Those tares of changing the canonical penalty to the<br \/>\n penalty of purgatory were evidently sown while the bishops<br \/>\n slept (Matthew 13:25).<P><\/p>\n<p> 12.  In former times canonical penalties were imposed, not<br \/>\n after, but before absolution, as tests of true contrition.<P><\/p>\n<p> 13.  The dying are freed by death from all penalties, are<br \/>\n already dead as far as the canon laws are concerned, and<br \/>\n have a right to be released from them.<P><\/p>\n<p> 14.  Imperfect piety or love on the part of the dying<br \/>\n person necessarily brings with it great fear; and the<br \/>\n smaller the love, the greater the fear.<P><\/p>\n<p> 15.  This fear or horror is sufficient in itself, to say<br \/>\n nothing of other things, to constitute the penalty of<br \/>\n purgatory, since it is very near to the horror of despair.<P><\/p>\n<p> 16.  Hell, purgatory, and heaven seem to differ the same as<br \/>\n despair, fear, and assurance of salvation.<P><\/p>\n<p> 17.  It seems as though for the souls in purgatory fear<br \/>\n should necessarily decrease and love increase.<P><\/p>\n<p> 18.  Furthermore, it does not seem proved, either by reason<br \/>\n or by Scripture, that souls in purgatory are outside the<br \/>\n state of merit, that is, unable to grow in love.<P><\/p>\n<p> 19.  Nor does it seem proved that souls in purgatory, at<br \/>\n least not all of them, are certain and assured of their own<br \/>\n salvation, even if we ourselves may be entirely certain of<br \/>\n it.<P><\/p>\n<p> 20.  Therefore the pope, when he uses the words &#8220;plenary<br \/>\n remission of all penalties,&#8221; does not actually mean &#8220;all<br \/>\n penalties,&#8221; but only those imposed by himself.<P><\/p>\n<p> 21.  Thus those indulgence preachers are in error who say<br \/>\n that a man is absolved from every penalty and saved by<br \/>\n papal indulgences.<P><\/p>\n<p> 22.  As a matter of fact, the pope remits to souls in<br \/>\n purgatory no penalty which, according to canon law, they<br \/>\n should have paid in this life.<P><\/p>\n<p> 23.  If remission of all penalties whatsoever could be<br \/>\n granted to anyone at all, certainly it would be granted<br \/>\n only to the most perfect, that is, to very few.<P><\/p>\n<p> 24.  For this reason most people are necessarily deceived<br \/>\n by that indiscriminate and high-sounding promise of release<br \/>\n from penalty.<P><\/p>\n<p> 25.  That power which the pope has in general over<br \/>\n purgatory corresponds to the power which any bishop or<br \/>\n curate has in a particular way in his own diocese and<br \/>\n parish.<P><\/p>\n<p> 26.  The pope does very well when he grants remission to<br \/>\n souls in purgatory, not by the power of the keys, which he<br \/>\n does not have, but by way of intercession for them.<P><\/p>\n<p> 27.  They preach only human doctrines who say that as soon<br \/>\n as the money clinks into the money chest, the soul flies<br \/>\n out of purgatory.<P><\/p>\n<p> 28.  It is certain that when money clinks in the money<br \/>\n chest, greed and avarice can be increased; but when the<br \/>\n church intercedes, the result is in the hands of God alone.<P><\/p>\n<p> 29.  Who knows whether all souls in purgatory wish to be<br \/>\n redeemed, since we have exceptions in St. Severinus and St.<br \/>\n Paschal, as related in a legend.<P><\/p>\n<p> 30.  No one is sure of the integrity of his own contrition,<br \/>\n much less of having received plenary remission.<P><\/p>\n<p> 31.  The man who actually buys indulgences is as rare as he<br \/>\n who is really penitent; indeed, he is exceedingly rare.<P><\/p>\n<p> 32.  Those who believe that they can be certain of their<br \/>\n salvation because they have indulgence letters will be<br \/>\n eternally damned, together with their teachers.<P><\/p>\n<p> 33.  Men must especially be on guard against those who say<br \/>\n that the pope&#8217;s pardons are that inestimable gift of God by<br \/>\n which man is reconciled to him.<P><\/p>\n<p> 34.  For the graces of indulgences are concerned only with<br \/>\n the penalties of sacramental satisfaction established by<br \/>\n man.<P><\/p>\n<p> 35.  They who teach that contrition is not necessary on the<br \/>\n part of those who intend to buy souls out of purgatory or<br \/>\n to buy confessional privileges preach unchristian doctrine.<P><\/p>\n<p> 36.  Any truly repentant Christian has a right to full<br \/>\n remission of penalty and guilt, even without indulgence<br \/>\n letters.<P><\/p>\n<p> 37.  Any true Christian, whether living or dead,<br \/>\n participates in all the blessings of Christ and the church;<br \/>\n and this is granted him by God, even without indulgence<br \/>\n letters.<P><\/p>\n<p> 38.  Nevertheless, papal remission and blessing are by no<br \/>\n means to be disregarded, for they are, as I have said<br \/>\n (Thesis 6), the proclamation of the divine remission.<P><\/p>\n<p> 39.  It is very difficult, even for the most learned<br \/>\n theologians, at one and the same time to commend to the<br \/>\n people the bounty of indulgences and the need of true<br \/>\n contrition.<P><\/p>\n<p> 40.  A Christian who is truly contrite seeks and loves to<br \/>\n pay penalties for his sins; the bounty of indulgences,<br \/>\n however, relaxes penalties and causes men to hate them &#8212;<br \/>\n at least it furnishes occasion for hating them.<P><\/p>\n<p> 41.  Papal indulgences must be preached with caution, lest<br \/>\n people erroneously think that they are preferable to other<br \/>\n good works of love.<P><\/p>\n<p> 42.  Christians are to be taught that the pope does not<br \/>\n intend that the buying of indulgences should in any way be<br \/>\n compared with works of mercy.<P><\/p>\n<p> 43.  Christians are to be taught that he who gives to the<br \/>\n poor or lends to the needy does a better deed than he who<br \/>\n buys indulgences.<P><\/p>\n<p> 44.  Because love grows by works of love, man thereby<br \/>\n becomes better.  Man does not, however, become better by<br \/>\n means of indulgences but is merely freed from penalties.<P><\/p>\n<p> 45.  Christians are to be taught that he who sees a needy<br \/>\n man and passes him by, yet gives his money for indulgences,<br \/>\n does not buy papal indulgences but God&#8217;s wrath.<P><\/p>\n<p> 46.  Christians are to be taught that, unless they have<br \/>\n more than they need, they must reserve enough for their<br \/>\n family needs and by no means squander it on indulgences.<P><\/p>\n<p> 47.  Christians are to be taught that they buying of<br \/>\n indulgences is a matter of free choice, not commanded.<P><\/p>\n<p> 48.  Christians are to be taught that the pope, in granting<br \/>\n indulgences, needs and thus desires their devout prayer<br \/>\n more than their money.<P><\/p>\n<p> 49.  Christians are to be taught that papal indulgences are<br \/>\n useful only if they do not put their trust in them, but<br \/>\n very harmful if they lose their fear of God because of<br \/>\n them.<P><\/p>\n<p> 50.  Christians are to be taught that if the pope knew the<br \/>\n exactions of the indulgence preachers, he would rather that<br \/>\n the basilica of St. Peter were burned to ashes than built<br \/>\n up with the skin, flesh, and bones of his sheep.<P><\/p>\n<p> 51.  Christians are to be taught that the pope would and<br \/>\n should wish to give of his own money, even though he had to<br \/>\n sell the basilica of St. Peter, to many of those from whom<br \/>\n certain hawkers of indulgences cajole money.<P><\/p>\n<p> 52.  It is vain to trust in salvation by indulgence<br \/>\n letters, even though the indulgence commissary, or even the<br \/>\n pope, were to offer his soul as security.<P><\/p>\n<p> 53.  They are the enemies of Christ and the pope who forbid<br \/>\n altogether the preaching of the Word of God in some<br \/>\n churches in order that indulgences may be preached in<br \/>\n others.<P><\/p>\n<p> 54.  Injury is done to the Word of God when, in the same<br \/>\n sermon, an equal or larger amount of time is devoted to<br \/>\n indulgences than to the Word.<P><\/p>\n<p> 55.  It is certainly the pope&#8217;s sentiment that if<br \/>\n indulgences, which are a very insignificant thing, are<br \/>\n celebrated with one bell, one procession, and one ceremony,<br \/>\n then the gospel, which is the very greatest thing, should<br \/>\n be preached with a hundred bells, a hundred processions, a<br \/>\n hundred ceremonies.<P><\/p>\n<p> 56.  The true treasures of the church, out of which the<br \/>\n pope distributes indulgences, are not sufficiently<br \/>\n discussed or known among the people of Christ.<P><\/p>\n<p> 57.  That indulgences are not temporal treasures is<br \/>\n certainly clear, for many indulgence sellers do not<br \/>\n distribute them freely but only gather them.<P><\/p>\n<p> 58.  Nor are they the merits of Christ and the saints, for,<br \/>\n even without the pope, the latter always work grace for the<br \/>\n inner man, and the cross, death, and hell for the outer<br \/>\n man.<P><\/p>\n<p> 59.  St. Lawrence said that the poor of the church were the<br \/>\n treasures of the church, but he spoke according to the<br \/>\n usage of the word in his own time.<P><\/p>\n<p> 60.  Without want of consideration we say that the keys of<br \/>\n the church, given by the merits of Christ, are that<br \/>\n treasure.<P><\/p>\n<p> 61.  For it is clear that the pope&#8217;s power is of itself<br \/>\n sufficient for the remission of penalties and cases<br \/>\n reserved by himself.<P><\/p>\n<p> 62.  The true treasure of the church is the most holy<br \/>\n gospel of the glory and grace of God.<P><\/p>\n<p> 63.  But this treasure is naturally most odious, for it<br \/>\n makes the first to be last (Matthew 20:16).<P><\/p>\n<p> 64.  On the other hand, the treasure of indulgences is<br \/>\n naturally most acceptable, for it makes the last to be<br \/>\n first.<P><\/p>\n<p> 65.  Therefore the treasures of the gospel are nets with<br \/>\n which one formerly fished for men of wealth.<P><\/p>\n<p> 66.  The treasures of indulgences are nets with which one<br \/>\n now fishes for the wealth of men.<P><\/p>\n<p> 67.  The indulgences which the demagogues acclaim as the<br \/>\n greatest graces are actually understood to be such only<br \/>\n insofar as they promote gain.<P><\/p>\n<p> 68.  They are nevertheless in truth the most insignificant<br \/>\n graces when compared with the grace of God and the piety of<br \/>\n the cross.<P><\/p>\n<p> 69.  Bishops and curates are bound to admit the<br \/>\n commissaries of papal indulgences with all reverence.<P><\/p>\n<p> 70.  But they are much more bound to strain their eyes and<br \/>\n ears lest these men preach their own dreams instead of what<br \/>\n the pope has commissioned.<P><\/p>\n<p> 71.  Let him who speaks against the truth concerning papal<br \/>\n indulgences be anathema and accursed.<P><\/p>\n<p> 72.  But let him who guards against the lust and license of<br \/>\n the indulgence preachers be blessed.<P><\/p>\n<p> 73.  Just as the pope justly thunders against those who by<br \/>\n any means whatever contrive harm to the sale of<br \/>\n indulgences.<P><\/p>\n<p> 74.  Much more does he intend to thunder against those who<br \/>\n use indulgences as a pretext to contrive harm to holy love<br \/>\n and truth.<P><\/p>\n<p> 75.  To consider papal indulgences so great that they could<br \/>\n absolve a man even if he had done the impossible and had<br \/>\n violated the mother of God is madness.<P><\/p>\n<p> 76.  We say on the contrary that papal indulgences cannot<br \/>\n remove the very least of venial sins as far as guilt is<br \/>\n concerned.<P><\/p>\n<p> 77.  To say that even St. Peter if he were now pope, could<br \/>\n not grant greater graces is blasphemy against St. Peter and<br \/>\n the pope.<P><\/p>\n<p> 78.  We say on the contrary that even the present pope, or<br \/>\n any pope whatsoever, has greater graces at his disposal,<br \/>\n that is, the gospel,spiritual powers, gifts of healing,<br \/>\n etc., as it is written, 1 Corinthians 12:28).<P><\/p>\n<p> 79.  To say that the cross emblazoned with the papal coat<br \/>\n of arms, and set up by the indulgence preachers is equal in<br \/>\n worth to the cross of Christ is blasphemy.<P><\/p>\n<p> 80.  The bishops, curates, and theologians who permit such<br \/>\n talk to be spread among the people will have to answer for<br \/>\n this.<P><\/p>\n<p> 81.  This unbridled preaching of indulgences makes it<br \/>\n difficult even for learned men to rescue the reverence<br \/>\n which is due the pope from slander or from the shrewd<br \/>\n questions of the laity.<P><\/p>\n<p> 82.  Such as: &#8220;Why does not the pope empty purgatory for<br \/>\n the sake of holy love and the dire need of the souls that<br \/>\n are there if he redeems an infinite number of souls for the<br \/>\n sake of miserable money with which to build a church?  The<br \/>\n former reason would be most just; the latter is most<br \/>\n trivial.<P><\/p>\n<p> 83.  Again, &#8220;Why are funeral and anniversary masses for the<br \/>\n dead continued and why does he not return or permit the<br \/>\n withdrawal of the endowments founded for them, since it is<br \/>\n wrong to pray for the redeemed?&#8221;<P><\/p>\n<p> 84.  Again, &#8220;What is this new piety of God and the pope<br \/>\n that for a consideration of money they permit a man who is<br \/>\n impious and their enemy to buy out of purgatory the pious<br \/>\n soul of a friend of God and do not rather, because of the<br \/>\n need of that pious and beloved soul, free it for pure<br \/>\n love&#8217;s sake?&#8221;<P><\/p>\n<p> 85.  Again, &#8220;Why are the penitential canons, long since<br \/>\n abrogated and dead in actual fact and through disuse, now<br \/>\n satisfied by the granting of indulgences as though they<br \/>\n were still alive and in force?&#8221;<P><\/p>\n<p> 86.  Again, &#8220;Why does not the pope, whose wealth is today<br \/>\n greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build this<br \/>\n one basilica of St. Peter with his own money rather than<br \/>\n with the money of poor believers?&#8221;<P><\/p>\n<p> 87.  Again, &#8220;What does the pope remit or grant to those who<br \/>\n by perfect contrition already have a right to full<br \/>\n remission and blessings?&#8221;<P><\/p>\n<p> 88.  Again, &#8220;What greater blessing could come to the church<br \/>\n than if the pope were to bestow these remissions and<br \/>\n blessings on every believer a hundred times a day, as he<br \/>\n now does but once?&#8221;<P><\/p>\n<p> 89.  &#8220;Since the pope seeks the salvation of souls rather<br \/>\n than money by his indulgences, why does he suspend the<br \/>\n indulgences and pardons previously granted  when they have<br \/>\n equal efficacy?&#8221;<P><\/p>\n<p> 90.  To repress these very sharp arguments of the laity by<br \/>\n force alone, and not to resolve them by giving reasons, is<br \/>\n to expose the church and the pope to the ridicule of their<br \/>\n enemies and to make Christians unhappy.<P><\/p>\n<p> 91.  If, therefore, indulgences were preached according to<br \/>\n the spirit and intention of the pope, all these doubts<br \/>\n would be readily resolved. Indeed, they would not exist.<P><\/p>\n<p> 92.  Away, then, with all those prophets who say to the<br \/>\n people of Christ, &#8220;Peace, peace,&#8221; and there is no peace!<br \/>\n (Jeremiah 6:14)<P><\/p>\n<p> 93.  Blessed be all those prophets who say to the people of<br \/>\n Christ, &#8220;Cross, cross,&#8221; and there is no cross!<P><\/p>\n<p> 94.  Christians should be exhorted to be diligent in<br \/>\n following Christ, their Head, through penalties, death and<br \/>\n hell.<P><\/p>\n<p> 95.  And thus be confident of entering into heaven through<br \/>\n many tribulations rather than through the false security of<br \/>\n peace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martin Luther Here are the 95 Theses Martin Luther nailed on the church door at Wittenburg. 1.
