| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Johann Tetzel |
 | | It was simply a permit to select a proper confessor, who only after a contrite confession would absolve from sin and reserved cases, and who possessed at the same time facilities to impart the plenary indulgence (Paulus, "Johann Tetzel", 103). |
 | | As much cannot be said about his teaching regarding indulgences for the dead. |
