22. Elaboration of the sacramental system • 1215 4th Lateran Council. Ritual as miracle that conveys divine grace. • Baptism • Confirmation • The Eucharist • ‘Transubstantiation’: Aristotle on the nature of existence: substance, accidents • Luther’s ‘Consubstantiation’ • Penance • 12thc: sin → guilt + punishment. 1) attrition + 2) confession, penalty, absolution. Purgatory • Sense of shame constituted a punishment • Indulgence • Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses • Extreme Unction • Holy Orders • Matrimony

23. A Catholic priest celebrating the Eucharist • Luther on the Eucharist • ‘Consubstantiation’: the real presence share the same time and space with the bread; God reveals himself there

25. Indulgence: concessions by ecclesiastical authorities that cancelled all or part of the temporal penalties that had been imposed by the church upon the sinner to expiate his sin • Given for • major pious acts at first: e.g. crusades; • and later for lesser pious acts, e.g. 1300 Jubilee indulgences • Mechanism • mid-13thc: treasury of merits. Indulgence applies some of the ‘merit’ from the treasury to a given person • Late 14thc pardoners: indulgences applicable for the dead in purgatory • Representing an overflow of God’s grace, mediated though the Christian community, past, present and future – great demand among the Christians

28. William of Ockham (c.1285-1349) • Nominalist: all universal ideas, all general concepts, were mere names = concepts had no demonstrable connection with external reality • Authority of the papacy as head of the universal church could be exercised by an emperor • Pope John XXII’s quarrel with Emperor Lewis of Bavaria (1314-46) • Potentia Dei, ‘freedom’ of God: • Instead of the church, God could have chosen other means for humans’ salvation

29. Efficacy of the sacraments was not due to their intrinsically containing or conveying grace, but came from a covenant made by God • Salvation depended on whether God would keep his word • Martin Luther (1483-1546) • New theology of justification by faith • Good works (pilgrimage, cult of saints etc.) never contributed to one’s salvation

30. Spiritual prestige of the papacy declined • Zenith: 12-13th c • Crusades; fighting the Staufens; Philip IV (and Edward I) and taxation • The bull Unam Sanctum (1302), the pope’s supreme authority in both spiritual and temporal matters is ‘absolutely necessary for salvation’ • Papacy in Avignon 1309-1376 • The Great Schism 1378-1417 • The Conciliar movement -1449 • The Italian territorial papacy • By 1449: national churches • E.g. 1438 France • To reform or to replace the clerical order?

31. 7. Martin Luther (1483-1546) • 1505- monk; 1507 first mass; failure at confession • 1513 Tower experience: ‘justification by faith alone’ • Justice: salvation; to justify: to save. Justice = enforcing the law; justification = suspending sentence, changing the offender • Faith causes reform (‘conversion’); faith is God’s work in us • Faith: believe God is seeking to save, trust God will keep his promise and the Holy Spirit will regenerate the sinner’s soul • salvation is God’s free gift

32. 31 Oct 1517 Ninety-Five Theses at Wittenburg • Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz appealed to Pope Leo X • November 1518: the bull Cum postquam • October 1518: Luther met papal representative Cardinal Cajetan • Cajetan: the pope had the inalienable right to interpret the Bible (and need prove nothing) • Luther became a German folk hero (foreign papacy interested only in money and obedience) • July 1519: disputation at Leipzig with John Eck • Forced Luther to take his theories to their logical conclusions: from testing one aspect of papal power against scripture to testing every aspect

33. Pamphlets of 1520 • Justification by faith alone • Sola scriptura • traditional authority: 1) the Bible, 2) the traditions and 3) the pope. Luther: not logically consistent • In theory, the Holy Spirit and right reason would make the sense of the scripture plain to the believers • Priesthood of all believers: in God’s eyes, all people were equal in the church and faith. The church = the believers • 5/7 Sacraments: no need, could not be proven by scripture • Baptism: an introduction to the community of the faithful – impact on monasticism • The Eucharist: not magical but mystical, not the performance of a rite but the experience of a presence. ‘Consubstantiation’
