I am a catholic....but....Luther had it right. Unfortunately, the Catholic church at that time brought the reformation on itself.

Glory be to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning,
Is now,
And ever shall be,
World without end.

Amen. Amen.

Nice article.

About 5 years ago we started celebrating "Reformation Day." Today my kids still get excited about it and rush to remind me that it's Reformation Day and they look forward to watching the movie Luther

If there had been no Luther, there probably would be no Obama.

If I was a Lutheran, I would not know what to do. Which Lutheran church should I belong to? There are at least a dozen (in America alone) and they have different teachings about Scripture and the life God demands of us. Maybe they all agree on the justification thing .. but there's way more to Christianity than that.

The Missouri Synod says homosexuality is gravely sinful ... are they right? Or is it okay to be gay and join the ECLA?

Division and confusion. Thanks Luther. You're the best.

Apostolic Lutheran Church of America
Association of Free Lutheran Congregations
Church of the Lutheran Brethren of America
Church of the Lutheran Confession
Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference
Evangelical Community Church-Lutheran
Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of North America
Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod
Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ
Lutheran Evangelical Protestant Church
Lutheran Ministerium and Synod
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

I’d wish Luther wouldn’t have been so antisemitic.

I would not want to imagine where we would be had it not been for Luther’s lighting the fire for reformation. The smell of the inquisition is still is a fragrance not that far away. The reformation is a continual process and must always be. The temptation for men to “be like God” is much to strong for complacency.
