For my intent is only pence to win, and not at all for punishment of sin. When they are dead, for all I think thereon their souls may well black-berrying have gone!”

Broadsheet of Pope Alexander VI, r. 1492-1503: Left—Alexander VI, Pontifex Maximus; right—“Ego sum Papa” (“I am the Pope”).
The Successful Reformation and its Aftermath Engravings of Lollards on trial and in prison, from Fox’s Book of Martyrs, 1784. • John Wycliffe, c. 1330-1384 • Oxford professor of theology • Predestination not free will • Questioned the Eucharist • Condemned corrupt priesthood • John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, 1340-1399 • Lollards • Rejected corrupt clergy • Translated the Bible into English
The Successful Reformation and its Aftermath Jan Hus burned at the stake, from Ulrich Von Reichental, Chronicle of the Council of Constance. • Jan Hus, c. 1372-1415 • Bohemian priest and professor at University of Prague • Eucharist central to belief • Utraquism • Questioned pope’s authority • Hussites • Bohemian Church
Jan Hus’ The Church, 1413. • “No pope is the most exalted person of the catholic church but Christ himself: therefore no pope is the head of the catholic church besides Christ… Likewise, it is not necessary to believe that every Roman pontiff whatsoever is the head of any particular holy church unless God has predestined him. This is clear because otherwise the Christian faith would be perverted and a Christian would have to believe a lie... In the same way, it is not of necessity to salvation for all Christians, living together, that they should believe expressly that any one is head of any church whatsoever unless his evangelic life and works plainly move them to believe this…”
The Successful Reformation and its Aftermath • The Lutheran Reformation • Gutenberg and the printing press, 1440s • Martin Luther, 1483-1546 • Doctor of theology, University of Wittenberg, Germany, 1512 • The 95 theses, 1517 • Excommunicated, 1520 • Protected by Frederick the Wise, Duke of Saxony • Preached justification of faith and predestination • Diet of Worms, 1521; excommunication upheld • Development of Lutheran Church, 1522 onward • Monasteries closed • Clergy allowed to marry • Bible and church services in German
Some of Luther’s 95 Theses • 1. When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, “Repent” (Matthew 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance. • 2. This word cannot be understood as referring to the sacrament of penance, that is, confession and satisfaction, as administered by the clergy. • 3. Yet it does not mean solely inner repentance; such inner repentance is worthless unless it produces various outward mortification of the flesh. • 5. The pope neither desires nor is able to remit any penalties except those imposed by his own authority or that of the canons. • 20. Therefore, the pope, when he uses the words “plenary remission of all penalties” does not actually mean “all penalties,” but only those imposed by himself. • 21. Thus those indulgence preachers are in error who say that a man is absolved from every penalty and saved by papal indulgences. • 27. They preach only human doctrines who say that as soon as the money clinks into the money chest, the soul flies out of purgatory. [This is a direct reference to Johannes Tetzel]. • 50. Christians are to be taught that if the pope knew the exactions of the indulgence preachers, he would rather that the basilica of St. Peter were burned to ashes than built up with the skin, flesh, and bones of his sheep.
Left—woodcut by Baldung Grien, 1521, depicting Martin Luther as an Augustinian canon; right—engraving by Lucas Cranach, 1545, captioned “The pope alone can interpret scripture and sweep away misapprehension in the same way that a donkey alone can play the bagpipes and get the notes right.”
Left—woodcut, 1530, of the church as the seven-headed beast, captioned “For money a sack full of indulgences.”; right—woodcut by Hans Brosamer, from the title page of Johannes Cochleus’ The Seven Heads of Martin Luther, 1529, depicting Luther as the seven headed beast (Luther l-r as doctor, saint, infidel, priest, fanatic, church supervisor, and Barrabas.
Lucas Cranach image on title page from Martin Luther’s Against the Papacy Founded by the Devil, 1545, depicting the pope with ass’s ears sitting on a pyre in the mouth of Hell, represented by an enormous monster.
Lucas Cranach images, 1520/1521: Left—the pope and his indulgence sellers in the Vatican; right—Christ driving the money changers from the temple.

The Successful Reformation and its Aftermath Henry VIII in the Whitehall Mural, by Remigius van Leemput, 17th century, Royal Collection, Hampton Court Palace. • The Reformation in England • Henry VIII, r. 1509-1547 • “Defender of the faith” • Catherine of Aragon, d. 1536 • Anne Boleyn, d. 1536 • Act of Supremacy, 1534 • Henry as “Supreme Head of the Church” • Celibacy of priests enforced • Abolition of monasteries • Edward VI, r. 1547-1553 • 1547 Injunctions • Scripture and religious instruction in English

My theme is always one, and ever was: ‘Radix malorum est cupiditas’. [Greed is the root of all evil]… then show I forth my hollow crystal-stones, which are crammed full of rags, aye, and of bones; relics are these, as they think, every one… By this fraud have I won me, year by year, a hundred marks, since I’ve been pardoner… Of avarice and of all such wickedness is all my preaching, thus to make them free with offered pence, the which pence come to me. For my intent is only pence to win, and not at all for punishment of sin. When they are dead, for all I think thereon their souls may well black-berrying have gone!”

This is clear because otherwise the Christian faith would be perverted and a Christian would have to believe a lie... In the same way, it is not of necessity to salvation for all Christians, living together, that they should believe expressly that any one is head of any church whatsoever unless his evangelic life and works plainly move them to believe this…”

  • 84.
    Some of Luther’s95 Theses • 1. When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, “Repent” (Matthew 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance. • 2. This word cannot be understood as referring to the sacrament of penance, that is, confession and satisfaction, as administered by the clergy. • 3. Yet it does not mean solely inner repentance; such inner repentance is worthless unless it produces various outward mortification of the flesh. • 5. The pope neither desires nor is able to remit any penalties except those imposed by his own authority or that of the canons. • 20. Therefore, the pope, when he uses the words “plenary remission of all penalties” does not actually mean “all penalties,” but only those imposed by himself. • 21. Thus those indulgence preachers are in error who say that a man is absolved from every penalty and saved by papal indulgences. • 27. They preach only human doctrines who say that as soon as the money clinks into the money chest, the soul flies out of purgatory. [This is a direct reference to Johannes Tetzel]. • 50. Christians are to be taught that if the pope knew the exactions of the indulgence preachers, he would rather that the basilica of St. Peter were burned to ashes than built up with the skin, flesh, and bones of his sheep.
