Solus Christus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solus Christus, sometimes referred to in the ablative case as Solo Christo, is one of the five solas propounded to summarise the Reformers' basic beliefs during the Protestant Reformation; it is a Latin term referring to salvation through Christ alone. The emphasis was in contradistinction to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church of the day.
The Protestants characterize the dogma concerning the Pope as Christ's representative head of the Church on earth, the concept of meritorious works, and the Catholic idea of a treasury of the merits of saints, as a denial that Christ is the only mediator between God and man.
