Solus Christus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Solus Christus (Latin: "Christ alone"), sometimes referred to in the ablative case as Solo Christo ("by Christ alone"), is one of the five solas that summarise the Protestant Reformers' basic belief that salvation is through Christ alone and that Christ is the only mediator between God and man. The doctrine was thought to be in contradistinction to several teachings of the Roman Catholic Church: the Pope as Christ's representative head of the Church on earth, the concept of meritorious works, and the idea of a treasury of the merits of saints.
