Martin Luther adopted a theology designed to allow him to break his vows and have sex with a nun.

Oddly enough Henry VIII also adopted a theology designed to allow him to break his vows and have sex with someone.

Funny how religious inspiration strikes, huh?

Anyway, Thomas More was martyred because he refused to agree with Henry's actions. Which neatly brings us back to what the thread is about.

You’d have saved yourself the trouble of posting, had you read the post to which I had responded initially.

Do you want to apologize? I am offended by your remarks. I do not participate in these theological discussions because I want to believe we are all Christians who believe in the Nicene Creed but this remark is over the top.

It would not have been necessary for Martin Luther to change any theology if he wanted to have sex with a man--the Catholic church is infested with homosexuals who not only have sex with other men but they molest little boys as well and they don't bother to change their theology.

If I have misunderstood your remarks, I apologize but if they are as I understand, they are erroneous and destructive.

The guy's been dead for five hundred years, how long are y'all gonna keep spreading that goofy nonsense?

If Luther REALLY just wanted to "have sex with a nun", he could have stayed where he was. The pope at the time was the renown Pope Leo X. Who got his clerical "tonsure" at seven years old and made a cardinal at the ripe old age of SIXTEEN thanks to his wealthy father - a Medici. He was elected Pope on 9 March 1513, and this was proclaimed two days later. On 15 March 1513, he was ordained priest, and consecrated as bishop on 17 March. He was crowned Pope on 19 March 1513 at the age of 37. He was widely suspected of having homosexual proclivities had "an improper love for some of his chamberlains", was a "spendthrift" and used money from selling Papal "indulgences" to rebuild St. Peter's basilica. Luther was also familiar with the Popes before Leo X, Alexander VI, especially was not known for his "celibacy" and made no secret of his five children with his mistress and those of others. So, I think it is pretty easy to guess that Martin Luther was NOT into his "theology" in order to have sex with nuns. Now that you know better, are you still going to say that about the man?
