Calling your prot posse, are you?
Well, tell your posse that, Martin Luther said:
[S]he became the Mother of God, in which work so many and such great good things are bestowed on her as pass man’s understanding. For on this there follows all honor, all blessedness, and her unique place in the whole of mankind, among which she has no equal, namely, that she had a child by the Father in heaven, and such a Child.... Hence men have crowded all her glory into a single word, calling her the Mother of God.... None can say of her nor announce to her greater things, even though he had as many tongues as the earth possesses flowers and blades of grass: the sky, stars; and the sea, grains of sand. It needs to be pondered in the heart what it means to be the Mother of God.”[9]
Poor fellow doesn't know if he's coming or going.
An excellently catechized Catholic could take us ALL on with one hand tied behind their back.
After all; the fight is NOT in real time; so we can analyze our punch's effects before we throw them.
Chapter and verses?
Oh. Wait a minute.
That’s NOT in the Bible you say?
Well, you said "Luther was nuts. That’s common knowledge." But which depends upon if he supported Roman nuttiness.
However let us heard the words of the great Catholic historian Joseph Lortz on a certain Doctor of Theology (though he concluded he also was a heretic as per Rome):
"The problems of an adequate treatment of Luther are obvious from several points of view. First, Luther is an intellectual giant, or, to use a word from Paul Althaus, an "ocean. " The danger of drowning in him, of not being able to come to grips with him satisfactorily, arises from his tremendous output, but no less from his own original style... It sounds banal, but cannot be left unsaid: Luther belongs in the first rank of men with extraordinary intellectual creativity. He is in the full sense a genius, a man of massive power in things religious and a giant as well in theological interpretation. Because of this, he has in many respects shaped the history of the world--even of our world today."
