The Catholic Church Pre-Reformation

This message has been edited and enhanced for ease of listening.

This message focuses on the moral and religious state of the Roman Catholic Church just prior to the Protestant Reformation. In God's Providence, one of the causes of the Reformation was the stubborn refusal of the Roman Catholic Church to even make minor reforms and changes in spite of the growing discontent of many.

The question is addressed in detail, 'Was the great relgious revolt of the sixteenth century really necessary?' Pastor Jeff argues in the affirmative. The church had moved beyond the need for minor changes and a full-blown "reform" was the only reasonable and godly response possible.
