LIGONIER MINISTRIES
About this episode

In teaching that Christ is re-sacrificed in holy communion and that receiving the Mass is a good work, the Roman Catholic Church is keeping souls captive to a false gospel. On this day 500 years ago, Martin Luther's criticism of this doctrine is being printed far and wide. Will his words be his undoing?
