Purpose: This assignment will challenge you to analyze, reconstruct, and adjudicate the debates between Luther and Cajetan.
Instructions: Utilizing everything we have thus far read (i.e., Cajetan and Luther), attempt to reconstruct the fundamental arguments between the two in dialogue format. Be sure to accurately represent each side and to include their central points without plagiarizing or quoting at length. Once you have done that, you should attempt to adjudicate which arguments are more correct or true to reality and revelation.
Example:
Luther: I have enumerated the grave errors of the whore of Babylon, the Church of the Pope of Rome, and the antichrist, in my 95 theses.Cajetan: But thesis 1 misrepresents the Church’s teaching on x because . . . Luther: You are sorely mistaken, oh high Cardinal. The Church solemnly declared y. . . Cajetan: But you misunderstand the declaration y because it clearly means . . .
