This is as it should be.
He was not all wrong when he began his protestation of the pope’s misuse of indulgences, but he went too far and lost the chance he had for reform within and broke away completely when he refused to submit to the authority of the Church and work within her to build her up.
Oh?
What kind of 'chance' was that?
What had happened to OTHER 'reformers' in the church prior to Luther?
The very ironic and tragic thing about Luther is that he did indeed bring about some reforms in the Church. It was his choice to break away, the excommunication came because of his actions.
I don’t believe that Luther ever found peace.
