updating or ra<strong>the</strong>r downgrading <strong>the</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>of</strong> morality. The<br />
doctrine <strong>of</strong> sola fide asserts that it solely is on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> believer's<br />
faith that <strong>the</strong>ir transgressions <strong>of</strong> God's Law are forgiven.<br />
As moral st<strong>and</strong>ards shifted heavily during <strong>the</strong> 20th century,<br />
previously a Catholic would have had to deny his faith to engage in<br />

can change', it was possible to 'update' Catholic morality while not<br />
being concerned with possible contradictions.<br />

in changing <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> Christianity to its very core. They have forced it<br />

heretical action or statement is ignored. Everything seems to be<br />
