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.

calling marring someone fornication

Luther and his consort were not free to marry therefore it was fornication and not a proper marriage.

Ouch.

Yes, the church has definite issues about sex. Why they despise it so much is beyond me but to treat something God created, called good, and sanctioned, unclean and sinful is beyond comprehension.

What is just skipped over is WHY would someone have to be hidden in a pickled fish barrel in order to escape a place they no longer wanted to be??? Obviously these nuns were in fear for their lives to resort to such an elaborate plot to win their freedom. Odd that the onus is placed on the person helping these desperate women instead of the system that forced them to plot an escape.
