For example, the ex-priest Martin Bucer, who’d benefited from Luther’s moral dispensations where an ex-nun and his vows were concerned, nevertheless admits: "The whole Reformation was one grand indulgence for libertinism. The greater part of the people seems only to have embraced the gospel in order to shake off the yoke of discipline and the obligation of fasting and penance, which rested upon them in popery, and that they may live according to their own pleasure, enjoying their lusts and lawless appetites without control. That was the reason they lent a willing ear to the teaching of justification by faith alone and not by good works, for the latter of which they had no relish."

Wow. Just. Wow.

Perhaps we need the naughty list of popes.

While we're at it the list of pedophile priests would be interesting also.

and the obligation of fasting and penance,

More false teachings by catholicism.

enjoying their lusts and lawless appetites without control.

I've seen so many drunk catholics in my life it isn't funny.

betcha there have been a whole bunch of catholic boys and girls doing things they shouldn't also.

That was the reason they lent a willing ear to the teaching of justification by faith alone and not by good works, for the latter of which they had no relish."

Well it's a good thing Paul didn't feel this way....oh wait.

8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Eph 2:8-10
