Ignorance of the truth has been causing problems for a lot longer than "800" years.

You do realize that Luther was a paranoid, schizophrenic, anti-semitic, alcoholic who couldn't control his libido, don't you? Hardly the type of person you want to hitch your doctrinal wagon to, unless you're content being ignorant.

A single reference to Luther does not make me an adherent of Lutheran theology or doctrine. He is is just the most recognizable of those who fought against bad/false teachings and practices in the Catholic Church.

There were quite a few involved in the Reformation that, while I do not agree completely with all of their positions, respect them for taking a stand and addressing many of the problems at the time. Just as there are many today who are still leading the charge to reform Christianity - while I don't always agree with them (and some less than others), they do sometimes make valid points. Foot - even a stopped clock is right twice a day!
