摘要 | Introduction Saints are a major point of disagreement between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant faiths. During the Protestant Reformation in the early 1500s, the Catholic doctrine of the intercessory power of saints was theologically denied by Martin Luther and John Calvin on the grounds of justification by faith alone in Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church’s position on saints, particularly as agents for souls in purgatory, created a “soul-prayer industry,” whereby indulgences funded a variety of religious activities and institutions. Notable here were chantry foundations, which provided an endowment for the purpose of employing priests to sing masses to benefit the souls of deceased persons. Protestantism, by contrast, rejected belief in purgatory and the mediating power of saints. Read the full PDF here. |
