“Here I stand I can do no other!”
Martin Luther was sitting when he invented Protestantism. I’m not allowed here to say where.
We have found that these errors or theses are not Catholic, as mentioned above, and are not to be taught, as such; but rather are against the doctrine and tradition of the Catholic Church, and against the true interpretation of the sacred Scriptures received from the Church.
By listing them, we decree and declare that all the faithful of both sexes must regard them as condemned, reprobated, and rejectedâ¦.We restrain all in the virtue of holy obedience and under the penalty of an automatic major excommunication....
Regarding the list, my favorite is 33. That heretics be burned is against the will of the Spirit.
So if a Catholic believes that burning heretics is against the will of the holy spirit, then they are under the penalty of an automatic major excommunication. Wow.
Martin Luther did not invent Protestantism. He merely spearheaded the revolution to erase centuries of error and outright heresy from the RC grip on Europe.
Sound doctrine exists in the Word and is available to all. The only thing “invented” is the tortuous contortions of man made “tradition”. Give me the Word to stand on, its all I need.
