Project Gutenberg 1997-03-01 Public domain in the USA. 120 Reu, Johann Michael 1869 1943 Reu, Michael Reu, J. Michael (Johann Michael) The Confutatio Pontificia Produced by Karen Janssen, Project Wittenberg, and David Widger "The Confutatio Pontificia" by Anonymous and edited by Johann Michael Reu is a historical religious document likely written in the early 16th century. This text centers on the theological disputes concerning the Christian Orthodox faith and serves as a confutation of the Confession of Faith presented by the Elector of Saxony and other rulers within the Holy Roman Empire regarding Lutheran reforms. It is deeply rooted in the context of the Protestant Reformation, a significant period marked by challenges to the doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church. The book meticulously critiques various articles of the Lutheran Confession, affirming traditional Catholic doctrines such as the nature of original sin, the necessity of sacraments like baptism and confession, and the role of good works in salvation. It provides detailed theological arguments against Protestant positions on faith, grace, and the nature of the Church and its sacraments. Each article is addressed methodologically, highlighting the compatibility of certain beliefs with Catholic values while clearly refuting others deemed heretical. The overall message emphasizes the importance of adherence to the Catholic Church, presenting a benedictory yet stern call for unity among the Christian faithful while disapproving of the emerging Protestant ideals.
