Your quote in no way negates what I said. Read about Luther’s complaints and you’ll see he wasn’t particularly focused on homosexuality to say the least.

“What does Luther’s hypocrisy or whether conservatives march have to do the point at hand?”

You brought him up (”...is it any different from what Martin Luther saw?”) - incorrectly since he did not complain about the same thing that Peter Damian did. So, you were wrong when you brought him up and you’re wrong by complaining that I pointed out his hypocrisy.

And I answered the question. Perhaps you need to learn how to read. I’ll post the same answer which I already posted to the questions which you are falsely claiming went “unanswered”:

[Question from anti-Catholic which was already answered in post #42] “The immorality of many of the Roman clergy and the tolerance of it...is it any different from what Martin Luther saw?”

{Answer as given, word for word in Post #42] “Yes. Luther complained mostly about the clergy’s greed - which would later be shown to be hypocritical considering his own choices in life as a Protestant. If you read the 95 Theses you’ll see that Luther did not assume that homosexuality was a major problem in the clergy. Peter’s complaint was entirely different. Apparently you’re not as familiar with either set of complaints as you might think.”

Maybe you just don’t know what the word “Yes” means.

Vlady, if I wanted a tap dance I would watch an old musical.

Catholic historians note what a sink hole of clergy sexual immorality (hetero and homo) Rome was in Luther's day.

Defend it, explain it, ignore it, rationalize it, but there it is for all the world to see.

Hang up them dancin’ shoes.
