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.
