How long before some SJW notes that he was also a racists?
To: G Larry
Wow! Let’s have more papist articles about the leader of the Reformation excommunicated by the pope. Like there already hasn’t been enough in the last five centuries.
To: Mom MD
To say Luther=Hitler would be absurd. I don't think Luther and Hitler are comparable in every respect. Just in their fanatical Jew-hating ideology.

I think this is more about replacement theology than antisemitism. Trying to dumb it down and declare it anti Semitism takes away from the true debate of the time. A debate that still exists for good reason. Yawn.

Nancy Pelosi is not, and does not present herself in public as, the founder or reformer of Catholicism.
In fact the man who, earlier in the 21st century, was the equivalent of "Catholic Chief Justice" (Card. Raymond Burke, head of the Roman Apostolic Signatura) said she and other public abortion enthusiasts are not to receive Communion because they are not "in" communion. A ruling which, to date, has not been rescinded.
So while Luther may, to some extent, be considered a key exemplar of "Lutheranism," Pelosi cannot be invoked as even poorly "representing" Catholicism.
Although perhaps, like Luther, she would like to either reform it, or, failing that, split it and wreck it.

I was responding to a post about modern day Lutheran heresy I don’t wish to argue with you as I respect you but the popes and “princes of the church” in luthers time were just as antisemitic and racist two wrongs do not make a right all were equally guilty and it still has nothing to do with the reformation

Good words, Marine. I agree with much, or practically all, of what you said, except, of course, for the part about Mary. Speaking of "good words": Mary was greeted by God's heavenly ambassador with the completely unprecedented, uniquely honorable and rather astounding personal title "Kecharitomene" ("she who has been filled with grace.") That's "race" --- grace by the merits of Christ our Lord and God, her Savior --- not "dreadful, soul-damning sin."

Our Church came from God Himself. Your sect was founded by an anti-semite. Wear it with pride, RegulatorCountry, wear it with pride.Yet that anti-semite was trained in the Roman Catholic Church. A case of the fruit not falling far from the tree perhaps?
However, we don't see the worship of Mary, the idols of Mary, indulgences, penance, etc in the NT church which are current practices in the RCC.
Worship those idols with pride vlad...worship them with pride.

Certainly, nothing in Luther’s ugly anti-Semitism gets his ugly anti-Semitic Catholic contemporaries off the hook!

Tragically, Adolph Hitler thought that Luther was a genius who figured out how dangerous the Jewish people were. And the date that many historians mark as the beginning of the Holocaust, Nov. 9, 1938, was the day that Hitler put Luthers advice into practice, setting on fire and vandalizing Jewish synagogues, shops, and homes.
Yes - Luther was antisemitic
- He wrote a seven (or eight) point plan against the Jews that was implemented by Germany.
- Germany added a couple of points to Luther's plan and murdered 6 million Jews.

Boniface VIII might disagree with you.

If vlad were merely defending his church I wouldn’t even enter the discussion, but it’s always got to be slagging on Luther, then they turn around and love him the next day, regarding Mary or some other vestige of Luther’s monastic training. It’s a weird sort of love-hate dichotomy with Roman Catholics regarding Luther. I’ve speculated that it has something to do with moon phases, but I honestly can’t say for certain.
To: RegulatorCountry
For sure...when Mary comes up Luther goes back on the good list.
It does seem to depend on the discussion with our Catholic friends as to the status of Luther.
That Luther must have hit a sore spot is evidenced by the Counter-Reformation. Hence, there was, and still is, much wrong with the RCC.

Yes
Catholic leaders and popes of the time were antisemitic
The nazis added a couple points to their writings and killed 6 million Jews
See how that works?
The nazis are responsible for their atrocities luther and the popes/cardinals of their tone are responsible for their own antisemitism

There is enough sin to go around. We all put Christ on that cross. And that is the one statement we should all agree upon on this, and any other thread.
Christ died for each of us and for us He died.
That should end the discussion.
Excellent words, friend....excellent words.
