Power and Primacy of the Pope (1537): Smalcald Theologians - 5 views

  • Roman Pontiff
    • Alli DeLessio
       
      what is a pontiff?
  • to be considered equal to the divine laws
    • Alli DeLessio
       
      does this mean that he basically thinks that he is as good as God? b/c that's what i got from this
  • the apostles should be sent forth as equals to the common ministry of the Gospel
    • Alli DeLessio
       
      i really like it when someone actually presses for equality
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • so that no one of them was to have more or less power than any other
    • Alli DeLessio
       
      but does that mean that they have more power over people that are not apostles?
  • or lordship above the rest.
    • Alli DeLessio
       
      so does that mean not even He is above the rest of them? I mean, He is Jesus
  • let them not burden the Church with traditions
    • Alli DeLessio
       
      so they were against traditions? i like that!
  • it is sufficiently apparent that the churches did not then accord superiority and domination to the bishop of Rome.
    • Alli DeLessio
       
      then why was the pope in rome?
  • This, too, testifies that the Church did not then acknowledge the primacy or superiority of the bishop of Rome.
    • Alli DeLessio
       
      if they weren't acknowledging the superiority of the bishop in rome, what was martin luther fighting against?
