Not even Martin Luther went so far as sanctioning homosexuality.

“He might have if he were born in the 20th century, however."

Curious as to where you got this idea. I did a search and from what I gathered Luther was not approving of sodomy, clearly marking it as "against nature".

Luther approved of bigamy. As a radical who invented his own version of Christianity - one no one had ever heard of before - if he had lived in the 20th century, he probably would gone much further.

Vlad,

Martin Luther’s 95 Theses were about problems within the Catholic Church. The Catholic church adopted most all of them, though it took a century, according to a Catholic historian and Deacon friend of mine. I do NOT see Luther doing a list of secular humanist demands on the Catholic Church today. Who knows, today he might be among those who oppose Vatican II.

G-F
