"We concede-as we must-that so much of what they (the Catholic Church) say is true: that the papacy has God's word and the office of the apostles, and that we have recieved Holy Scriptures, Baptism, the Sacrament, and the pulpit from them. What would we know of these if it were not for them?"-Martin Luther, sermons on the Gospel of John, chaps. 14-16 (1537), volume 24
