Coincidence; Holy Coincidence; or Holy Design that two Saints of the Counter-Reformation were born in the same year (1515) that Martin Luther began to espouse his theory on Justification through Faith alone and his criticism of Papal Indulgences which would culminate with the nailing of his controversial ninety-five theses on the doors of the Wittenburg Castle, two years later? As one of God's disciples is tripping and falling, God is sending down two disciples, one in Spain-Teresa of Avila and one in Italy-Philip Neri, to defend the Faith and counteract the misery which followed from this one act.
