Are you listening to yourself? You're reduced to quibbling over minutiae. Is the cathedral in Heidelberg a "church" or a "cathedral?" Did Luther "officially" defend his Theses in Wittemberg or did he just post them and run? Was the Augustinian Council a "defense" or merely an "apologia"?

Does it occur to you that I intentionally excluded the Diet of Worms, since it was so obviously what you were looking for, and to demonstrate that your narrow view of history does not allow you to think outside your own preconceptions? In any case, it would be unlikely that I would be familiar with Luther and not know about Worms.

Your credibility is such that I would trust a matchbook cover for its geographic lessons before I would trust you. I don't care if you were mayor of Casterbridge for half a century.

Not an issue. I couldn't have been talking about Heidelberg because there's no cathedral there. You tried to be smart, but you blew it.

Does it occur to you that I intentionally excluded the Diet of Worms, since it was so obviously what you were looking for,

I thought of it as a possibility, but rejected it because of your previous bone-headedness.

Your credibility is such that I would trust a matchbook cover for its geographic lessons before I would trust you.

I don't really care about my credibility with a person who doesn't know his history or geography.

BTW, the Heiliggeistkirche also has a history of Christian intolerance of other Christians, although no one got killed that time. But in a strange twist of fate, that helped save Heidelberg from destruction in WWII.

Is that ignorance again, or are you talking about Hardy?
