“Who cares? Saints have had visions of Luther in Hell.”

Intelligent Catholics care. Let me explain why. If you were not ignorant, you would know that plenty of Protestants still respect Luther and admire him whether as a rebel and revolutionary, or for what they take as his piety and devotion, or his learning and erudition.

I have seen Protestants seriously question their beliefs after being introduced to a book written by a Protestant called The Bible and Birth Control. In the book, the reader is introduced to the Biblical teaching against birth control - especially as seen by early Protestants such as Martin Luther. Protestants are shocked to discover that every Protestant group on earth opposed birth control - for religious reasons and otherwise - from the 1500s until the 1930s, and many opposed it until the 1950s.

True knowledge always leads people to the Catholic faith - even true knowledge about Martin Luther. Don’t doubt for a second that every single Catholic saint who has ever lived would gladly share the views against abortion and birth control held by Luther with every Protestant they encountered. Why? Because they would want them to know the truth, embrace it, and go to Heaven. They were saints. They were not like you.

Luther's in Hell, according to Saint Padre Pio.

Martin Luther: ‘A True Heretic’

But I'm not surprised you would defend the heretic.

So tell me, Vlad: is Luther a saint, like you pretend to be?

Yes the Catholic faith, which is not the Roman Catholic faith.
