<span>In the 16th century, the Catholic Church had a practice of selling indulgences. An indulgence was a payment to the church that paid for you to be exempted from certain sins. Sometimes they could pay for a loved one to spend less time in purgatory. Luther’s thesis 82 was aimed at the Pope, asking why the Pope doesn’t deliver ALL souls at the same time out of purgatory to relieve their misery. Is he only saving a few souls at a time so that he can get more money for the Catholic Church, thus exposing evil practices of the Catholic Church at that time.</span>

Answer:

A major impetus for the activities of Reformation thinkers such as Luther was the corruption of the Catholic Church, whose political power had grown enormously through the medieval period. In his Ninety-Five Theses, Luther questions the practices of Catholic Church officials, as well as official and popular claims about the powers of the pope. In particular, Luther believes that some of those claims are not sound in view of fundamental principles of the Christian faith.

During the Middle Ages, successive popes declared more and more indulgences. Some of these indulgences were originally for those who supported charitable works undertaken by various groups under the Catholic Church. Church officials called pardoners were empowered to grant the indulgences to those who contributed money for the causes sponsored by the church. Gradually, the practice became corrupt. The Catholic Church came to view indulgences as a major source of money, and pardoners began to misuse their power for personal gain. Indulgences thereby changed from instruments to reward piety to commodities that were sold to believers.

Pardoners sought to extort as much money as they could from believers in return for indulgences. Further, pardoners deceived the common people who went to them, claiming that the indulgences included forgiveness for sins and not just exemption from punishment. (According to Christian theology, only God possesses the power to forgive sins. So the pope could only exempt sinners from penance; he could not forgive sins.) Others made even more extravagant claims such as forgiveness for all further sins. Some pardoners also forged indulgences. People also began to believe that copies of letters declaring indulgences from the past, and other physical artifacts, had the miraculous property of ensuring forgiveness for sin.

As a devout Christian, Martin Luther viewed sin and forgiveness as extremely important questions. Luther, who was himself a priest, noted how the practice of indulgences had degenerated into a commercial activity far removed from religious observance. He also noted how members of his flock had absorbed the erroneous beliefs that the pardoners spread. He concluded that corrupt church officials such as pardoners ascribed greater power to the pope than was possible within Christian theology. Luther pointed out that it was disrespectful to God to equate an exemption from the pope with God's forgiveness.

To summarize, the topic of indulgences was important to Luther's argument because indulgences were a major source of corruption within the church. Pardoners used them to mislead churchgoers on articles of faith and tempted them into sin by offering forgiveness in exchange for money.

3. What are some ways that Wiesel and the other Jews at the camps try to observe their
uysha [10]

Answer:

Elie and the other Jewish prisoners in the camp practiced their faith in as much as they can, praying before eating, singing songs before sleeping, observing the important festivals, etc.

But as the days of the captivity increase, Elie began to question God's silence and even His existence amidst the suffering of His people.  

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's memoir <em>Night </em>tells the first-hand experience of the Holocaust and its repercussions on the Jewish people during the German's discriminating acts against the race. The book became one of the most important books and evidence or source to study the events of the discrimination of the Jewish people during the Nazis' regime.

The <u>prisoners along with Elie managed to keep their tradition and religion through the small acts of praying before eating, and at times fasting and singing Hasidic melodies</u>. They also <u>observed the New Year celebration</u> and observed the <u>festival of Yom Kippur</u>, despite their already starving condition in the camps.

At first, Elie also had a strong belief in God. He kept his religious faith and practices as much as he can. But the longer he stayed in the camps, the more he saw of the suffering of "God's chosen people". This angered him and he<u> began to question whether there is really a God and if there is, why He would allow his people to suffer such misfortunes and sufferings</u>. Since his own captivity, his belief in God began to decrease and began to <u>question God's silence and existence at the face of His people's suffering</u>.
