Most people with passing knowledge of this jerk's biography know this.
Martin Luther married Katharina von Bora, one of 12 nuns he had helped escape from the Nimbschen Cistercian convent in April 1523, when he arranged for them to be smuggled out in herring barrels.
Note for an occasional dense reader: nuns cannot legitimately marry unless discharged properly by their superior. Getting a nun smuggled in a barrel is not a legitimate discharge of the monastic vow.
So you admit you were wrong to make Luther a serial fornicator (nuns).
While as for Katharina, the charge of fornication rests upon the premise that marriage that is not sanctioned by Rome is fornication, which, considering the multitudes of RCs who have received annulments based on various grounds for them, potentially leaves multitude more RCs as living in fornication.
Get a lawyer indeed.
And it was not until 2 years after her escape that Luther married Katharina, after Luther at first had asked the parents and relations of the refugee nuns to admit them again into their houses, but which they declined to do, possibly as this was participating in a crime under canon law.
Thus a man who marries a virgin and remains with her till death is condemned by a church which counted sexual active popes as its head, and also condemned the belief that “if the Pope were reprobate and an evil man and consequently a member of the devil, he has no power over the faithful.”
In any case, i think we have been better persuaded to not think of men above that which is written.
BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT'S what you call proof?
What a stranglehold the RCC has on it's adherents. No wonder those nuns wanted out.
There is freedom outside the strangling bondage of the Catholic church, and that's in Jesus and Him alone.
Who really gives a rip. The Catholic church only has authority over people as they let it have over them. What a power hungry bastion of political anarchy.
They don't have power over people just because they claim it and no matter how much they calim God gave it to them.
Galatians 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Being under orders from an organization as corrupt as the RCC is not freedom, but bondage.
Only a Catholic would calling marring someone fornication.. LOL...What do you call raping little boys? A Sacrament??
