I guess that had never ever happened before Luther. Oh, was it okay when it was a non-reformist Catholic who did it?
Yeah, iconoclasm happened in Byzantium, equally revolting. Raping of nuns, probably, too from time to time. But in neither case was a new sect started for that, certainly not with the air of righteousness and superiority, so laughable in the Protestants. Catholics are fallible; Protestants made a religion out of their ignorance and their sins.
