“My God, what have I done? Even the milkmaids think they can interpret Scripture!” - Martin Luther.

At least he got that one right.

I doubt he ever said that.  Find the citation to something Luther said or wrote that matches those words and that sense, and I'll take it back.  Meanwhile, I'll keep looking.  Haven't found it yet. It has amazed me over the last year or so how many times an alleged Luther quote, supposedly designed to show him or his belief in a bad light, turns out to be one of those murky internet fabrications that gets mangled at some hard to trace source and passed around among RCs uncritically because it's an opportunity to bad mouth Luther.  And when he deserves it he deserves it. But if it's a misquote, we shouldn't be using it.

Peace,

How can this be???? This forum has been told countless times that almost everyone was illiterate. Luther must have had the only milkmaids who could read working for him.
