Facing death? What Inquisitional Tribunal did he face? What death did he face? Answer: none. He lived his life in wealth and privilege and died a natural death, untried and unmolested by the Church. The only death he faced was his natural one. Not affected by the Church whatsoever. He turned out to be a pawn in the game of international politics, but a well paid one. Conservative? More like a man whose enterprise was bought out by bigger forces because they could use him and his enterprise to their better use.Lies? Point out a single lie that I have told about Martin Luther. Either point out my lies or recant them in as public a fashion as you have stated yourself.
I apologise, on a closer reading you only seem to be ascribing false motives for Martin Luther's actions while at the same time being unaware of his dangerous situation.
Again I apologize, these are not lies, but rather uninformed opinions.
Accepted and forgotten.

Dangerous situation? He was a fat, stationary and easily attainable target. No, we must face it; the fantasy that the 'satanic' Catholic Church with the 'antiChrist Pope' as the steward of the Christ simply did not kill, did not want to kill Martin Luther. I suspect that the Church realized that God's reward for Martin Luther's broken vows and fragmenting of Christianity would far exceed and be much longer in duration than any temporal actions that the Church could enact.
