God have mercy on his soul... Too late for that. He lead thousands into apostasy.

I don't think so...he was ignorant of the truth because he had been taught otherwise by those Prottys that he trusted to be teaching truth (they weren't)

Luther, on the other hand, knew the truth, had been taught by those who only taught the truth, and decided that he knew better than they did as to what Christ founded as Christianity (he didn't)...

Just think; a few hundred years ago he could have ONLY been following the Catholics.

He sure would have stayed out of trouble by emulating THEIR example!!




Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]

Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.

Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy

Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy

Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]

Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]

Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]

Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.
