Shelby Boone 95 Theses 17. With souls in purgatory it seems necessary that horror should grow less and love increase- to me, this symbolizes that if you are a good person and you do good acts then you don’t need to worry because you will be going to heaven and instead of living in fear you can live to love others.

20. Therefore by "full remission of all penalties" the pope means not actually "of all," but only of those imposed by himself- this means that the Pope may have only had remission for some of the penalties because they were the ones that he imposed

25. The power which the pope has, in a general way, over purgatory, is just like the power which any bishop or curate has, in a special way, within his own diocese or parish- in general any bishop or curate has the same power as the Pope, just on a smaller scale but they can all grant god’s forgiveness

30. No one is sure that his own contrition is sincere; much less that he has attained full remission- no one is sure that they are sincere in their confession of sin nor are they certain of the forgiveness of their sins.

32. They will be condemned eternally, together with their teachers, who believe themselves sure of their salvation because they have letters of pardon- they will, along with their mentors, suffer after death because their mentors believe they know all and they are assumed to have that pardon because they have bought an indulgence

35. They preach no Christian doctrine who teach that contrition is not necessary in those who intend to buy souls out of purgatory or to buy confessionalia-you are not preaching Christian doctrine if you buy indulgences rather than confess your sins for remission of your sins

36. Every truly repentant Christian has a right to full remission of penalty and guilt, even without letters of pardon-everybody has the right to forgiveness whether they buy an indulgence or not

47. Christians are to be taught that the buying of pardons is a matter of free will, and not of commandment- god doesn’t say that pardon has to be bought, people choose through free will to buy forgiveness

62. The true treasure of the Church is the Most Holy Gospel of the glory and the grace of God- the gospel is the word of god which is why it is the most important part of the church

95. And thus be confident of entering into heaven rather through many tribulations, than through the assurance of peace- know that you can gain heaven by doing the right thing in times of trial and hardship
