Indices

Some "responses" end up being a series of posts, both here and on other blogs.  This page is to index at least some of those discussions.  Several of the links are to opposing viewpoints, it is not to be assumed that just because it is linked here that there is some sort of tacit endorsement of those opposing views.

Why Was Luther Wrong? 

Using Pope Leo X's Exurge Domini - which lists "The Errors of Martin Luther" an explanation is given as to why each error is just that, an error.

Part 1 - Why Was Luther Wrong? (On Sin and Confession)

Part 2 - Why Was Luther Wrong? (Continuing on the Sacrament of Penance)
Part 3 - Why Was Luther Wrong? (In process)


James Swan, while not really offering any comment of his own in direct response to this series (thus far) has offered links to previously written materials which I will list here too:

Swan's "Responses"

Martin Luther and the Bull, Exurge Domini (Hans J. Hillerbrand of Duke University).

How Accurate Was Exurge Domini in Refuting Martin Luther? (A commentary by James Swan on Hillerbrand's article)

Exurge Domini: An Exercise in Ambiguity From Jimmy Akin (James Swan responds to Jimmy Akin's article allegedly on the subject).

Identifying Infallible Statements (Jimmy Akin's article - the link in Swans page is no longer valid, but this one is.  A quick read of Akin's article shows that it is NOT on the subject we're discussing here.  Akin's article only states that Exurge Domini does not infallibly decide the issue Akin is discussing with a Jehovah's Witness).
