    Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences Commonly Known as The 95 Theses

    ut of love and concern for the truth, and with the object of eliciting it, the following heads will be the subject of a public discussion at Wittenberg under the presidency of the reverend father, Martin Luther, Augustinian, Master of Arts and Sacred Theology, and duly appointed Lecturer on these subjects in that place.
  2. pope
    the head of the Roman Catholic Church
    The pope has neither the will nor the power to remit any penalties beyond those imposed either at his own discretion or by canon law.
