Really? His lies are worth thanking God for? His oath breaking? His anti-Semitism? His support of bigamy?
HIS BREAKING AWAY FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH...HALLELUJIA.
Lies? Oath-breaking? Anti-semitism? Support of bigamy?
LOL! Are we talking about Martin Luther or the Medieval/Early Modern Roman Catholic Church?
BTW, Marysecretary, you might find this interesting: It comes from Geoffrey Parker's _The Thirty Years' War_, Second Edition, p.5:
By 1580, some 90 per cent of the nobles of Lower Austria were Protestant (almost all of them Lutherans), and the situation was similar in Upper Austria (except that several nobles became Calvinists). The Roman Catholic Church [!!!] in both duchies was moribund: parishes remained almost permanently vacant, congregations were abandoned, and the surviving establishments languished in an unedifying condition. Lower Austria in 1563 could boast 122 monasteries with a total of only 463 monks and 160 nuns, but 199 concubines, 55 wives and 443 children.
Please note the ratio of concubines to wives: almost 4:1. LOL!
Thats Saint Luther
