Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(6 pp.)Man was taught to be fearful in his faith.
He was not to expect a long or happy life, but
was to endure until that time that he met his
Redeemer and achieved a heavenly reward. What
started to creep into this belief system was the
thought that if you, had a little extra money and
were willing to buy one or more Church sanctioned
pieces of paper called "indulgences," it was
possible to shorten the stay in Purgatory, the
holding-tank of heaven, and move on into the
realms of Glory in a more prompt fashion. If it
helped the coffers of the Church, that was a double
blessing. With the good of man's soul in mind,
confession became an obligation, rather than
voluntary. Pilgrimages were encouraged; fire and
brimstone was preached. Luther felt that the
Church was extracting too high of a toll on its
members and registered his opposition to such
activities. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

beliefs was perceived as right and correct law. According to Rabb,( 1996), all activities revolved around the Church. Members of the clergy were unquestioned and treated with respect
as mangers of Gods law here on earth. The reason this is important to emphasize is to define what faith the people had in their religious community.
Medieval Background Religion: Man was taught to be fearful in his faith. He was not to expect a long or happy life, but was to endure until
