The Plain Truth about the Protestant Reformation - Chapter V - Roderick C Meredith - May 1956

Roderick C Meredith

As we have seen, on the eve of the Reformation there were many complaints and abuses that called for reform. Those who were responsible for the spiritual and material welfare of the people were content to preserve the status quo, because it served to their own enrichment and religious or political advantage. Yet the people cried out for financial relief - for at least some measure of political freedom. And the yoke of religious oppression laid heavily on the populace of Europe. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
