Facts are facts, Harley. What one does with those facts is what makes all the difference. One can either take those facts and work for reform (as was done through the Council of Trent, and other acts of those times), or one can throw Christianity out the window, along with the abuses (as what happened in the Protestant schism). The correct path to take is reform of the Church, rather than promulgating further schism.
Harley, if you were to ever ask me, I have always said that Luther brought out some very important issues. But those issues needed to be, and were, fixed within the Church.
But keep reading future installments, though, and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.
Luther and others came to the conclusion the Church had veered far from its origins. Reform was impossible. With all due respect, the results of doctrinal corruption was formalized at Trent, with it's focus on man's free will. Trent reacted to everything opposite the Reformation so there would never have been any reform inside the Church.
There is nothing I see in your post that contradicts anything that has been so far stated. I'm confident that your future posts will simply bear out the facts and I welcome another perspective.
