Faith or Works? Part 7: Indulgences (#308)

from Considering Catholicism · host Greg Smith

The whole Faith vs. Works debate really kicked off in 1517, when Martin Luther complained about the Catholic Church charging German peasants money for something called "indulgences." Since then, Protestants will pull this out as a kind of trump card: "The Catholic Church sells salvation through indulgences! That proves it believes in salvation by works!" Greg takes this topic on, explains the myth from the reality, and brings the receipts. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!
