Summary

This begins our long series on Roman Catholicism vs Protestantism. It all starts with justification. How is sinful man made right with God? For Roman Catholics, it is faith plus works. For Protestants, it is by faith alone. I discuss the Roman Catholic methods for attaining justification. This includes baptism to wash away Original Sin, but also includes Penance or Confession for the forgiveness of future sins. I also discuss Indulgences and the Treasury of Merit. The corrupt selling of indulgences was the inspiration for Martin Luther to pen his famous 95 Theses.
