When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, "Repent" (Mt 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance. This word cannot be understood as referring to the sacrament of penance, that is, confession and satisfaction, as administered by the clergy. Yet it does not mean solely inner repentance; such inner repentance is worthless unless it produces various outward mortification of the flesh. The penalty of sin remains as long as the hatred of self (that is, true inner repentance), namely till our entrance into the kingdom of heaven. The pope neither desires nor is able
to remit any penalties except those imposed by his own authority or that of the canons. 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. Which of the following best summarizes Martin Luther's ideas in points 1 through 3? Repentance is an outdated idea, and true Christians do not need to repent. Repentance is a sacrament that is administered by both the clergy and common people. Repentance is at the center of Christian life, but the sacraments of the Church do not reflect this focus Repentance and the sacrament of penance, administered by the clergy, are the same act.
It is'nt A, Repentace will never be outdated. And neither C or D. The correct and obvious answer is B. A Christian like MLK and myself and any others would Repent. :D (My Family reads the scriptures:D )
Whereas, then, first of all, it has noticed that the number of suspected and pernicious books, wherein an impure doctrine is Contained, and is disseminated far and wide, has in these days increased beyond measure, which indeed has been the cause that many censures have been, out of a godly zeal, published in divers provinces, and especially in the fair city of Rome,--and yet that no salutary remedy has availed against so great and pernicious a disorder; It hath thought good, that Fathers specially chosen for this inquiry, should carefully consider what ought to be done in the matter of censures and of books, and also in due time report thereon to this holy Synod; to the end that It may more easily separate the various and strange doctrines, as wingspanle from the wheat of Christian truth, and may more conveniently deliberate and determine, in regard thereof, that which shall seem best adapted to remove scruples from the minds of very many, and to do away with various causes of complaint.—Public Domain This passage alludes to the creation of which of the following? the Inquisition the Index the Society of Jesus the Peace of Westphalia
As you can see D is incorrect, By a longshot: http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Peace_of_Westphalia The society of Jesus Exists, But as a group who didn't write anything as important, So scratch out C. The Inquisition was a spanish group decentralized institutions within the judicial system of the Roman Catholic Church whose aim was to "fight against heretics". So Imagine #A didn't Exist. So the answer is B, The Formal Declaration of the Index marked the "turning-point in the freedom of enquiry" in the Catholic world.
