Nope. It was about the relationship between the Nazis and “German Christians”. Luther was barely mentioned in the article.
“What in the name any any reasoned argument does that have to Nazism?”
Quite a bit actually. He was held up as a model for “German Christians” because of his German nationalism and anti-semitic writings.
“The only reason you posted a comment totally irrelevant to the article is to malign Lutherans.”
I never even mentioned Lutherans.
Protestantism in Europe has always tried to acccomodate itself to the ruling power.The Catholic Church , on the other hand, is a rival of the state. That does not mean that many Catholics, clergy and laity, do not accommodate the state, but that the official Church tries to retain its independence.
As I said, the article you "posted to" is "Lutherans study German roots". Martin Luther is mentioned quite a bit. Maybe you should read it again.
