I agree. May God imbue us all with the passion Luther felt for Scripture and the will of God.

I recommend to everyone the recent film, "Luther."

I STILL haven't seen "Luther". My mother saw it at the theater and said it was amazing.

Thanks for the recommendation. Is it on DVD yet?

I think Pope Benedict shares some of your admiration for Luther. I don't know a whole lot about him myself, other than the standard stuff.

It is my understanding though, that Luther and the Church were about to come to some sort of agreement when the Curia muddied up the waters by either reneging (sp?) on a point of agreement or trying to get a fast one by him.

In any case, Lord Acton's phrase surely comes to mind.

Hey, I just ordered this and the old black-n-white one about Luther on DVD. Should be here day after tomorrow. Thought we watch it with the family back home since the churches are shutting down. ;O)
