Episode 18 – Babylonian Captivity Part 2

Episode 18 – Babylonian Captivity 2 In December of 1519, Martin Luther first trained his sights on redefining the sacraments in a series of sermons and treatise he wrote to help the common people better understand how faith works in the church. Duke George best reflected the feeling of the supporters of the papal position when he called Luther’s writings scandalous and heretical. But Luther wasn’t finished, in the fall of 1520, he released the Babylonian Captivity of the Church, a thorough attack on the church’s teachings on the 7 sacraments. In 1519, Luther limited himself to just baptism and communion. In 1520, he redefined every one of the sacraments. In the last episode, we covered Luther’s treatment of communion. Today, we’ll cover the other 6 sacraments. Beer Break Mad Hatter Midwest India Pale Ale by New Holland Brewery  New Holland Brewing Company’s deep roots in the craft industry go back to 1997.
