Good point. But I think Luther’s negatives were common traits of his time.

True, they were common sentiments at the time, and Luther was a man of his times. Hardly transcendent he was a very vain, very childish, very jealous and small-minded man.

“For did you not know that a Jew is so beloved of God that every time one farts a thousand Angels dance?” Martin Luther
