Base your answers to questions 15 and 16 on the
speakers’ statements below and on your knowledge of
social studies.
Speaker A: The chief problem with the Roman
Catholic Church is the practice of selling
indulgences. The only way for Christians
to receive salvation is through faith alone.
Speaker B: If Christians want to be saved, they
should perform good deeds and ask for
forgiveness of sins. The granting of
indulgences allows Christians to be
excused for their sins.
Speaker C: It is true that the Bible, and not
members of the clergy, is the ultimate
source of religious truth. However, God
has already decided who will be saved
and who will not.
Speaker D: Since the Pope does not agree with my
position, I have decided to separate
from the Roman Catholic Church. I am
now not only the head of England but
also of the Anglican Church.
