Episode 27: The Indulgence Game

                           

Albrecht of Brandeburg                                  Leo X                                       Jakob Fugger

 

In Episode 27, we look at the penance process, the role of indulgences, and the secret deal wrought by an aggressively ambitious archbishop, a corrupt pope and the wealthiest man of the era.  This backroom deal  led to the indulgences Martin Luther challenged in the 95 Theses.

    Dear Steve,
    As I have listened over the years I have been delighted with the content of your podcast and charmed by your gentle and kind spirit. I have not seen a new podcast in a very long time and am writing to say that I hope all is well with you and your family. Also, you answered my question about your music in the podcast which surprised and delighted me. Thanks for doing that.

    I hope the podcast will continue even if you have to take a lengthy hiatus.
