Ambassador (Catholic)
The ambassador is Latin for "grace" or "generous forgiveness" and means "forgive instead." According to the theology of the Roman Catholic Church, it is a gift to pay for some or all of the penalty for sin that has already been forgiven, that is, the atonement of the atonement that is done in this world. A sinner confesses his crime to the Church in a true way and is forgiven of his sins, and through Jesus 'and every saint' s merit, he is exempted from the sanction of the church for his sins. However, in the 16th century, in the case of the Holy Roman Empire, it was distorted by the so-called indulgences of pardoning sin that had already been committed by the ambassador. Later, the problem became the starting point of the division of the Roman Catholic Church and the religious reform of Martin Luther.
