The Five Solas

OCT 31 will mark the 500th Anniv. Of The Birth of Protestantism by the Monk who shook the world - Martin Luther.
He did so with the gospel.

The Reformation spread into much of Europe and Scandinavia - Many Lutherans there.
Sadly, it did not touch Ireland until late 1600s, through plantation times with Scottish English moving to utilize free land. (As in Canada)
No Bible in Irish language until later and of limited use. Hence Irland remained a Roman Catholic country.
The republic is still over 90% catholic and now secularised.

The five Solas or doctrines liberated the masses.

• Sola Scriptura - our only Foundation
• Sola Christos - our only Mediator
• Sola Gratia - our only method
• Sola Fide - our only means of justification
• Sola Deo Glory - our only ambition
