The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The word penance derives from Old French and Latin paenitentia, both of which derive from the same root meaning repentance, a sincere change of heart and feeling of remorse.
- Penance and repentance, similar in their derivation and original sense, have come to represent conflicting views of the essence of repentance, arising from the controversy in the Protestant Reformation as to the respective merits of "faith" and "good works".
- According to dictionary definitions, the primary meaning of penance is the deeds done out of penitence.
