Luther's Criticisms of the Catholic Church

1 answer

Sure! Here are some of Martin Luther's criticisms of the Catholic Church:

  1. Indulgences - Luther strongly opposed the sale of indulgences, believing it undermined the seriousness of repentance and the grace of God.

  2. Clerical Corruption - He criticized the moral and financial corruption among the clergy, arguing that many church leaders were more concerned with wealth and power than spiritual guidance.

  3. Papacy's Authority - Luther challenged the authority of the Pope, asserting that the Bible should be the ultimate source of authority for Christians, not the Church hierarchy.

  4. Faith vs. Works - He emphasized salvation through faith alone (sola fide) rather than through good works or the Church's sacraments.

If you need to choose two specific points, I recommend selecting Indulgences and Clerical Corruption, as these were key issues that sparked the Reformation.
