Luther's Works, Volume 41: Church and Ministry III
Conflict between the church of Rome and the
reformers reached its most violent peak in
the five years before the Council of Trent
in 1545, a council the pope had been
delaying for years. Luther had not only
given up hope for a "free, Christian
council," but had also come to the
conclusion that the authority of such a
council was limited to reaffirming the
ancient faith of the apostles. This radical
departure from Rome's interpretation of its
own authority forms the basis of Luther's
new doctrine of the church -- and also of
his advice to Protestant princes on the
problems of ecclesiastical property. It is
this doctrine of the church which is the
theme of the three treatises written during
this period and included in this volume.
