The Council of Trent, the Reformation, and the Mass - Part One

“The Mass is the greatest blasphemy of God, and the highest idolatry upon earth, an abomination the like of which has never been in Christendom since the time of the Apostles.”

- Martin Luther

In the year 1517, a young Augustinian monk by the name of Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the castle church at Wittenburg, protesting certain teachings and practices of the Catholic Church and sparking a revolution within the heart of Christendom. At the center of Luther’s heresy was his rejection of the Catholic Mass.
