@dogbsj No Protestant has ever read the 95 theses and it shows. In them he affirms the doctrines of the papacy, purgatory, the Blessed Mother, and indulgences.
Thesis #71. Let him who speaks against the truth concerning papal indulgences be anathema and accursed."
That’s the apostate Vatican II sect. The real Church doesn’t teach that.
Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, 1441, ex cathedra: “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and teaches that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament, the Mosaic law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites, sacrifices, and sacraments, because they were established to signify something in the future, although they were suited to the divine worship at the time, after our Lord’s coming had been been signified by them, ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began; and that whoever, even after the passion, placed hope in these matters of the law and submitted himself to them as necessary for salvation, as if faith in Christ could not save without them, sinned mortally. Yet it does not deny that after the passion of Christ up to the promulgation of the Gospel they could have been observed until they were believed to be in no way necessary for salvation; but after the promulgation of the Gospel it asserts that they cannot be observed without the loss of eternal salvation. All, therefore, who after that time [the promulgation of the Gospel] observe circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, the holy Roman Church declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least fit to participate in eternal salvation, unless someday they recover from these errors.”
You are anathema. The Church has always taught the necessity of the death penalty and even condemns your very line of reasoning.
Pope Pius IX, First Vatican Council, Session 3, Canon 3 on Faith and Reason, 1870, ex cathedra: “If anyone says that it is possible that at some time, given the advancement of knowledge, a sense may be assigned to the dogmas propounded by the Church which is different from that which the Church has understood and understands: let him be anathema.”
Pope Pius IX, First Vatican Council, Sess. 3, Chap. 2 on Revelation, 1870, ex cathedra: “Hence, also, that understanding of its sacred dogmas must be perpetually retained, which Holy Mother Church has once declared; and there must never be a recession from that meaning under the specious name of a deeper understanding.”
Pope Pius X, Lamentabile, The Errors of the Modernists, July 3, 1907, #22: “The dogmas which the Church professes as revealed are not truths fallen from heaven, but they are a kind of interpretation of religious facts, which the human mind by a laborious effort prepared for itself.” - Condemned
Errors of Martin Luther, #33: “It is against the will of the Spirit to burn heretics.” – Condemned by Pope Leo X, Exsurge Domine, July 15, 1520
St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Pt. II-II, Q. 11, A. 3: Heretics “deserve not only to be separated from the Church by excommunication, but also to be severed from the world by death. For it is a much graver matter to corrupt the faith which quickens the soul, than to forge money, which supports temporal life. Wherefore if forgers of money and other evil-doers are forthwith condemned to death by the secular authority, much more reason is there for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death.”
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Laicis, Chap. 21: "In the third place it is proven by the laws of the Church... The Church defines that incorrigible heretics are to be handed to the secular power, so that they may be punished by them in due manner. Likewise Session 15 of the Council of Constance condemned the view of John Hus, and it handed John himself and Jerome of Prague to the secular power, by which both were burned alive. Lastly, Leo X condemned the articles of Luther lin which it was taught that 'it's against the will of the Spirit to burn a heretic]."
He is an antipope. Burning of heretics is absolutely allowed and necessary

St. Robert Bellarmine, De Laicis, Chap. 21: "In Book 1, Epistle 72 [seems to be 741, to Gennadius Exarch of Africa, St. Gregory praises him because with great zeal he was persecuting heretics with arms, and he exhorts him to continue."
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Laicis, Chap. 21: "Third: All hold that forgers merit death; but heretics are forgers of the word of God."
St. Robert Bellarmine, De Laicis, Chap. 21: "Now all these reasons support that heretics should be killed; for, in the first place, they harm their neighbors much more than any pirate or robber insofar as they kill souls. Indeed, they remove the foundation of every good and fill the republic with tumults, which necessarily follow from the diversity of religions."
