Image Title: Pope with Satan

Scripture Reference:

• 1 Timothy 4 (further images / scripture text)

Description: Printed text from the page reads: The Pope has now [lit. in the past] left God’s law behind, and yet [he] cannot rule without laws. Therefore he has to make new laws, which are supplied by Satan. Therefore Satan speaks with him from the bush, as God has spoken with Moses from the bush, like him he makes laws and prohibits food and marriage and many other things, which Saint Paul clearly calls the devil’s teaching. 1 Timothy, the 4th chapter. Hans Sachs four-line poem: The Pope makes many laws and commandments [which are] to be kept at pain of eternal death. Things which God has not created. These are the results of the devil’s council. *Translation by Armin Siedlecki.
