Obviously, I'd need to spoon-feed fuller explanations to you, yet you've not addressed repeated queries posed to you that you would be willing (or not) to read information at links provided.

Everyone of your links were to the same numskulls' website, which I have already been very aware of. I quote Luther; you link to numskulls.

There was introduction to the explanations I had alluded to earlier. It seems obvious to me you did not read any of what was linked to, or at the least you cannot point to what is wrong about it.

So far, other than a link to Amazon.com., you've provided nothing but spit, and insults.

Among commentary under VI, Joseph Loretz F. Criticism of Luther by Lortz

Jared Wicks comments:

“[Lortz] pointed out extremes in Luther, such as a lack of restraint in fulminating against his opponents. Lortz found in Luther an extravagance ill-befitting a teacher submissive to the word of God. Impulsive in interpreting the Scriptures, Luther distorted the full message of the New Testament by subjective selectivity. But there is for Lortz a large reservoir of Catholic content in Luther, and not just in the young Luther. Even the elder Luther, often bitter and crude in attacking the priesthood and papacy, was a teacher of the sovereignty of God, a defender of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and an effective teacher of faith in Christ the Savior. Lortz's account of Luther was critical, but his criticism was penetrated by amazement over Luther's pulsating spiritual richness, the wide range of his talents, the vastness of his productive labor for the new community, and the concentration of all his thought on God's grace revealed in Christ and transmitted by the Gospel. Lortz gave Catholics an image of Luther marked by prophetic greatness.”[56]
