titus213 wrote:The issue of the pope presuming to take upon himself the right to forgive sins was a problem even in the post-apostolic church. One of the church fathers, Tertullian, wrote strongly against this practice in the second century. The sad reality is that the "early church fathers" went off-track from Scripture pretty early on.
could you provide references to what Tertullian said? Thanks.

Galatians 4: 16, Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Re: Salvation Is Only Through The Roman Catholic Church?
I was thinking of Tertullian's treatise "On Modesty", chapter 21 Of the Difference Between Discipline and Power, and of the Power of the Keys.
