- 1. When our Lord and MasterJesus Christ said, ``Repent'' (Mt 4:17), he willed the entire life of believersto be one of repentance.2. This word cannot beunderstood as referring to the sacrament of penance, that is, confession andsatisfaction, as administered by the clergy.3. Yet it does not meansolely inner repentance; such inner repentance is worthless unless it producesvarious outward mortification of the flesh.4. The penalty of sinremains as long as the hatred of self (that is, true inner repentance), namelytill our entrance into the kingdom of heaven.5. The pope neither desiresnor is able to remit any penalties except those imposed by his own authority orthat of the canons.6. The pope cannot remitany guilt, except by declaring and showing that it has been remitted by God;or, to be sure, by remitting guilt in cases reserved to his judgment. If hisright to grant remission in these cases were disregarded, the guilt wouldcertainly remain unforgiven.7. God remits guilt to noone unless at the same time he humbles him in all things and makes himsubmissive to the vicar, the priest.8. The penitential canonsare imposed only on the living, and, according to the canons themselves,nothing should be imposed on the dying.9. Therefore the HolySpirit through the pope is kind to us insofar as the pope in his decrees alwaysmakes exception of the article of death and of necessity.10. Those priests actignorantly and wickedly who, in the case of the dying, reserve canonicalpenalties for purgatory.11. Those tares of changingthe canonical penalty to the penalty of purgatory were evidently sown while thebishops slept (Mt 13:25).12. In former timescanonical penalties were imposed, not after, but before absolution, as tests oftrue contrition.13. The dying are freed bydeath from all penalties, are already dead as far as the canon laws areconcerned, and have a right to be released from them.14. Imperfect piety or loveon the part of the dying person necessarily brings with it great fear; and thesmaller the love, the greater the fear.15. This fear or horror issufficient in itself, to say nothing of other things, to constitute the penaltyof purgatory, since it is very near to the horror of despair.16. Hell, purgatory, andheaven seem to differ the same as despair, fear, and assurance of salvation.17. It seems as though forthe souls in purgatory fear should necessarily decrease and love increase.18. Furthermore, it does notseem proved, either by reason or by Scripture, that souls in purgatory areoutside the state of merit, that is, unable to grow in love.19. Nor does it seem provedthat souls in purgatory, at least not all of them, are certain and assured oftheir own salvation, even if we ourselves may be entirely certain of it.20. Therefore the pope, whenhe uses the words ``plenary remission of all penalties,'' does not actuallymean ``all penalties,'' but only those imposed by himself.21. Thus those indulgencepreachers are in error who say that a man is absolved from every penalty andsaved by papal indulgences.22. As a matter of fact, thepope remits to souls in purgatory no penalty which, according to canon law,they should have paid in this life.23. If remission of allpenalties whatsoever could be granted to anyone at all, certainly it would begranted only to the most perfect, that is, to very few.24. For this reason mostpeople are necessarily deceived by that indiscriminate and high-soundingpromise of release from penalty.25. That power which thepope has in general over purgatory corresponds to the power which any bishop orcurate has in a particular way in his own diocese and parish.26. The pope does very wellwhen he grants remission to souls in purgatory, not by the power of the keys,which he does not have, but by way of intercession for them.27. They preach only humandoctrines who say that as soon as the money clinks into the money chest, thesoul flies out of purgatory.28. It is certain that whenmoney clinks in the money chest, greed and avarice can be increased; but whenthe church intercedes, the result is in the hands of God alone.29. Who knows whether allsouls in purgatory wish to be redeemed, since we have exceptions in St.Severinus and St. Paschal, as related in a legend.30. No one is sure of theintegrity of his own contrition, much less of having received plenaryremission.31. The man who actuallybuys indulgences is as rare as he who is really penitent; indeed, he is exceedinglyrare.32. Those who believe thatthey can be certain of their salvation because they have indulgence letterswill be eternally damned, together with their teachers.33. Men must especially beon guard against those who say that the pope's pardons are that inestimablegift of God by which man is reconciled to him.34. For the graces ofindulgences are concerned only with the penalties of sacramental satisfactionestablished by man.35. They who teach thatcontrition is not necessary on the part of those who intend to buy souls out ofpurgatory or to buy confessional privileges preach unchristian doctrine.36. Any truly repentantChristian has a right to full remission of penalty and guilt, even withoutindulgence letters.37. Any true Christian,whether living or dead, participates in all the blessings of Christ and thechurch; and this is granted him by God, even without indulgence letters.38. Nevertheless, papalremission and blessing are by no means to be disregarded, for they are, as Ihave said (Thesis 6), the proclamation of the divine remission.39. It is very difficult,even for the most learned theologians, at on tribulations rather than through the falsesecurity of peace (Acts 14:22).
- People only need faith in Jesus and God for absolution of their sins.

- I never thought the Church would do something like this
- Now, I wonder why there are people here, no one comes here!
- The Church is abusing our trust!
