Why was Luther wrong? Do you think that a church should sell indulgences, before they tell members that they can go to heaven? Do you think that the Bible should only be printed in Latin?

His “reforms” were “deforms”.

No the Catholic Church wasn’t/isn’t perfect, but selling dispensations was just Luther’s excuse to form his own “church”

Luther made mistakes — and will have to answer for it. He took books out of the Bible that he didn’t like, and added words in where he wanted them.

I’ve always though that one was not to add or take away from the Bible text, isn’t that right?
