 Both Julius and Saint Peter stand at the gates of heaven, where the pope has presented himself for admittance. Peter won't let him in. Beneath the applicants priestly cassock he notes "bloody armor" and a "body scarred with sins all over, breath loaded with win, health broken by debauchery. | Julius Exclusus - Erasmus |
| To be sure, he concedes, "I had my misfortunes"...Julius acknowledges that he had also been accused of simony and pederasty, but he evasive when asked if his plea is Not Guilty... | Julius Exclusus - Erasmus |
| Julius, furious, tells him that the world has changed since the time "you starved as pope, with a handful of poor hunted bishops about you." When that line of reasoning is rejected, he threatens to excommunicate Peter, calling him "...only a priest...a beggarly fisherman." | Julius Exclusus - Erasmus |
| You may obtain letters of safe conduct from the vicar of our Lord Jesus Christ, by means of which you are able to liberate your soul from the hands of the enemy, and convey it by means of contribution and confession, safe and secure, from all pains of Purgatory into the happy kingdom. | A sermon-Indulgences - John Tetzel |
| Are you not willing, then, for the fourth part of a florin, to obtain these letters, by virtue of which you may bring, not your money, but your divine and immortal soul safe and sound into the land of Paradise? | A sermon-Indulgences - John Tetzel |
| They preach man who say that the soul flies out of Purgatory as soon as the money thrown into the chest rattles. It is certain that, when the money rattles in the chest, avarice and gain may be increased, but the effect of the intercession of the Church depends on the will of God alone. | A sermon-Indulgences - John Tetzel |
| Hence, the greater part of the people must needs be deceived by the indiscriminate and high sounding promise of release from penalties. | 95 Theses - Luther |
| Thus those preachers of indulgences are in error who say that by the indulgences of the Pope a man is freed and saved from all punishment. | 95 Theses - Luther |
| The Pope has neither the will nor the power to remit any penalties except those which he has imposed by his own authority, or by that of the canons. | 95 Theses - Luther |
| Also on the part of...the Pope and the most Holy Apostolic See...to all who may profit by this present brief opportunity, and who shall have lent a helping hand to the construction of the aforesaid house of the Prince of the Apostles...they shall all be participants and sharers in all...other spiritual goods which now exist or may exist in the Church militant...not only they themselves but also their relatives, kindred and benefactors who have passed away. | A sermon-Indulgences - John Tetzel |
| Every true Christian, whether living or dead, has a share in all the benefits of Christ and of the Church, give by God, even without letters of pardon. | 95 Theses - Luther |
| Christians should be taught that, if the Pope were acquainted with the exactions of the Preachers of pardons, he would prefer that the Basilica of St. Peter should be burnt to ashes rather than that it should be built up with the skin, flesh and bones of his sheep. | 95 Theses - Luther |
| To think that the Papal pardons have such power that they could absolve a man even if- by an impossibility- he had violated the Mother of God, is a madness. | A sermon-Indulgences - John Tetzel |
| How if they were compelled to admit that we all, so many as have been baptized, are equally priests? We are so in fact, and it is only a ministry, which has been entrusted to them, and that with our consent. They should know that they have no right to exercise command over us, except so far as we voluntarily allow it...Thus all who are Christians are priests... | 95 Theses - Luther |
| The advocates of the Church maintain that the pope, bishops, priests, and monks should be called "the spiritual class," while princes, lords, artisans and peasants make up the "temporal [secular] class." They then affirm that spiritual authorities are superior to temporal authorities. But do not be afraid of this claim. | Adress to the German Nobility - Luther |
| In the second place, they are starting a rebellion, and violently robbing and plundering monasteries and castles which are not theirs, by which they have a second time deserved death in body and soul, if only as highwaymen and murderers. | Against Peasants - Luther |
| The peasants have taken on themselves the burden of thee terrible sins against God and man, by which they have abundantly merited death in body and soul. In the first place they have [sworn as part of the oath of homage] to be true and faithful, submissive and obedient to their rules...Because they are breaking this obedience, and are setting themselves against the higher powers, willfully and with violence, they have forfeited body and soul... | Against Peasants - Luther |
| It has been the custom hitherto for men to hold us as they own property, which is pitiable enough considering that Christ has delivered and redeemed us all, without exception by the shedding of his precious blood, the lowly as well as the great. Accordingly, it is consistent with Scripture that we should be free and wish to be so. | 12 Articles - Peasants |
| First, it out humble petition and desire, as also our will and resolution, that in the future we should have power and authority so that each community should choose and appoint a pastor, and that we should have the right to depose him should he conduct himself improperly. | 12 Articles - Peasants |
| I say that since God has given the temporal power the responsibility to punish the wicked and protect the good, we must let it perform its task regardless of whether or not it must punish popes, bishops, priests, nuns or whatever. | Adress to the German Nobility - Luther |
| For rebellion is not simply murder, but is like a great fire, which attacks and lays waste a whole land. Thus rebellion brings with a land full of murder and bloodshed, makes widows and orphans, and turns everything upside down like the greatest disaster. | Against Peasants - Luther |
| Therefore, dear lords, here is a place where you can release, rescue, help. Have mercy on these poor people. Stab, smite, slay, whoever you can. If you die doing it, well for you! | Against Peasants - Luther |
| No one who wishes to be thought religious dares outright to deny predestination, by which God chooses some for the hope of life, and condemns others to eternal death. | The Institutes of the Christian Church - Calvin |
| By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which He has decided in His own mind what He wishes to happen in the case of each individual. For all men are not created on equal footing, but for some eternal life is pre-ordained, for others eternal damnation. | The Institutes of the Christian Church - Calvin |
