discipline the Pope?
Against councils called by Pope ‐ How does a council get called to
2. Babylonian Captivity of the Church
On Sacraments ‐ activities of
Asked to write by Spalatan

Penance
Questioned meaning of the Sacraments
How it was administered
Laity did not get the cup, but now they do
Luther said they should have both
Questioned Transubstantiation
Not until 1215 that it actually became official doctrine
Consubstantiation ‐ Later in notes
Captivities:
Nicea ‐ Called by Constantine, not the Pope

night)
He was given a day to think about it (sleepless, prayerful, agonizing
He was asked again to recant
He was shocked, no defense, found guilty ‐ he needed more
He responded with:
Three kinds of works:
1. Devotionals and Piety (no need to recant these)
leaders to account = these books attack sin
2. Pappacy and Affairs of the Pappacists ‐ calling Church
(no need to recant these)
3. Poorly worded and statements that were harsh or incorrect = I will consider recanting them if you will show
Luther was told to recant and give a straight answer
themselves)

question)
Shades of Peter Abelard (sic et non = Luther was not first to

He's not responsible for Sin

Zwingly: presence by Faith
Union between God and Spirit and humans/Lord in love
