Done.

5:30 pm yesterday! Final over. Didn't need the full two hours. Either it was way easier than the mid-term, or I just studied the right stuff. Been sick most of the week, so was coffee-energydrink-pill-andthroatlozenged up pretty good yesterday. Very much looking forward to a few weeks off of school and just writing sermons and enjoying Christmas. One thing I know: if I can survive this semester, I can survive any!

Oh, and what were the essays I answered yesterday, you ask?
1. How did the four popes leading up to the Council of Trent deal with Luther and why did their efforts fail?
2. What were the internal and external factors that effected the Catholic Church to 1540 and what were their prospects (for success and failure) after that?
3. Why were the Catholic Controversialists ineffective against Luther?
And then we had to identify 15 (out of 30 or so) people, events, bulls, etc.

Perhaps the reason you did not need the entire time for the test was that the answer to the first and third question was short, sweet and the same.

1. .... and why did their efforts fail?

3. Why were the Catholic Controversialists ineffective against Luther?

Answer to BOTH " Because of the divine intervention of the God and Father of out Lord Jesus Christ."

Hmmm . . . not sure that's exactly the answer my professor was looking for! If I had been more sure of my grade, it sure would have been fun to try it, though. :-)
