Oh the great man of faith, the Jew hater Luther.

Hans Hinkel, a Nazi who worked in Goebbels’ Reich Chamber

Through his acts and his spiritual attitude he began the fight which we still wage today; with Luther the revolution of German blood and feeling against alien elements of the Volk was begun.
-cited from Richard Steigmann-Gall’s The Holy Reich

Erich Koch, the Reich Commissioner for Ukraine and President of the East Prussian Protestant Church Synod wrote:

Only we can enter into Luther’s spirit.... Human cults do not set us free from all sin, but faith alone. With us the church shall become a serving member of the state.... There is a deep sense that our celebration is not attended by superficiality, but rather by thanks to a man who saved German cultural values.
-Konigsberg-Hartungsche Zeitung, 20 Nov. 1933, [cited from Richard Steigmann-Gall’s The Holy Reich]

Bernhard Rust served as Minister of Education in Nazi Germany. He wrote:

Since Martin Luther closed his eyes, no such son of our people has appeared again. It has been decided that we shall be the first to witness his reappearance.... I think the time is past when one may not say the names of Hitler and Luther in the same breath. They belong together; they are of the same old stamp [Schrot und Korn].

We can blame that on his Roman Catholic roots.

You forfeited the debate in the first sentence.

Now nothing you have to say has any credibility, as if it ever did in the first place.

Oh the great man of faith, the Jew hater Luther.

Pius V that great and mighty saint of the same period, expelled Jews from the Papal states.

Luther talked, Pius V actually acted on his hate. Must be why the Catholics made him a saint.

“All the world’s evils are due do lukewarm Catholics”. ~ Pope Pius V

Before or after he expelled Jews? Hypocrisy much? LOL.

You cannot judge past events by modern standards. Judging historical individuals by modern religious, ethical or legal standards leads to revisionism, especially if they are Catholic. Anyone else, of course!
