Doctrinal position

Tetzel abstract Catholic article in attention to indulgences for the dead, but his teaching on indulgences for the active was orthodox. He became accepted for a brace attributed to him: :"As anon as a bread in the case rings / the body from affliction springs."3 German: "Wenn die Münze im Kästlein klingt, die Seele in den Himmel springt". This often-quoted adage was exaggerated. German Catholic historian of the Papacy, Ludwig von Pastor explains4:

The Papal Bull of allowance gave no sanction whatever to this proposition. It was a ambiguous bookish opinion, alone by the Sorbonne in 1482, and afresh in 1518, and absolutely not a article of the Church, which was appropriately break put advanced as arbitrary truth.

Pastor addendum that the arch theologian Cardinal Thomas Cajetan against these extravagances.
