#Tarikh Tarikh Episode 680 In this episode Nikhil talks about The sale of indulgences. It stands as one of the most controversial practices in the history of Christianity, particularly associated with the Catholic Church during the mediaeval period. Indulgences were essentially pardons granted by the Church, offering remission of temporal punishment for sins committed, both in this life and in Purgatory. The history of the sale of indulgences is intertwined with theological, social, and political dynamics, shaping the religious landscape of Europe. The concept of indulgences dates back to early Christianity, with the belief that the Church possessed the authority to forgive sins through the power vested in it by Christ. However, the systematic sale of indulgences gained prominence during the Middle Ages, particularly in the 11th century onwards. Martin Luther, a German monk and theologian, vehemently opposed the sale of indulgences, seeing it as a corruption of the Christian faith. In 1517, he famously penned his Ninety-five Theses, which condemned various practices of the Catholic Church, including the sale of indulgences. Luther's actions sparked the Protestant Reformation, leading to a schism within Western Christianity and fundamentally altering the religious and political landscape of Europe. In the aftermath of the Reformation, the sale of indulgences waned in influence, although the Catholic Church continued to grant them as part of its doctrine of penance and reconciliation. However, the controversy surrounding indulgences left a lasting impact on Christianity, contributing to theological debates and prompting reforms within the Catholic Church. खबरों को विस्तार से पढ़ने के लिए क्लिक करे यहां- https://www.thelallantop.com/ LT Premium जॉइन करने के लिए नीचे दिए लिंक पर क्लिक करें: null Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelallantop/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelallantop/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheLallantop Produced By: The Lallantop Edited By: Alok Sahu
