The only thing that they discovered was wealth and power.

How funny that is.. Luther died a poor man ....meanwhile Rome built the Vatican on the backs of the poor paying to get out of purgatory and the sale of relics ...where did the pope get his jewels and furs..

Poor man? He was a landed estate owner with a large group of farmers working the land for him, and university professor. Do you people even bother believing yourselves? Have you even heard of his estate house?

"Luther died a poor man ...."

Except that he died in the 10,000+ square foot Lutherhaus, a former monastery surrounded by extensive farm lands, all given to him as a wedding gift by the Protestant Elector of Saxony. Maybe she is referring to "poor in spirit" because he died confessing the sins of his schism and asking for reconciliation with the Church.
