95. And thus be confident of entering into heaven rather through many tribulations, than through the assurance of peace.

I sure love Luther's "95". I am amazed at his courage and greatly admire his dedication to truth. All of our Catholic friends on this thread are amazed at what they see as "hate" against the Catholic church, and yet what they so conveniently forget is how they held sway upon the western world for 1,300 years and brutally oppressed all those who followed the Master by His own footsteps instead of by the mandates of the papal throne. Millions of men, women, and children from Jews to Waldensians, to Huguenots were systematically murdered by the "church" of Rome. No amount of revisionism will erase that memory. Later day "popes" have attempted to erase this stain by vague apologies - and yet still persist in their revisionist history with their congregants.

Last I checked, I didn't participate in such activities, not did any other Catholic living today.

Are you also in favor of slave reparations, or do you simply take hypocritical stances when Catholics are involved?
