2. How is Luther redefining temporal and spiritual authorities and what is their relation to one another? Dr. Martin Luther had redefined temporal and special authorities by going through his experiences and having exchanges with the church. He redefines spiritual authority as the result of divine grace and he objected to the remission of temporal punishment by the pope.

What are the consequences of not dealing with them? and in your own opinion why does he perceive them as princes of hell? Martin Luther talks about the popes and what they do in the church.

It is not necessary to believe in God to be successful, a person can be successful by relying on themselves. Though there are some people who feel like their success is owing to faith in God. 6.

What does St. Ignatius mean by “in these dangerous times of ours” on page 91?

St. Ignatius writes on page 91 that “it might be useful to speak of their bad conduct to those who can apply a remedy”, how does this quote show some controversies in his own writing?
St. Ignatius shows controversies in this writing when he says, “it might be useful to speak of their bad conduct to those who can apply a remedy”, as sometimes he thinks he can go against the church and fight back while on other occasions he says, “I will believe that the white that I see is black, if the hierarchical church so defines it”.
