“Your ‘authority’ on Martin Luther...”
Where did I claim he was an authority?
“This...THIS is your expert on Martin Luther’s mental condition?”
Again, where did I claim he was my expert on Martin Luther?
“So far as I can tell your Catholic expert on Martin Luther..”
Again, where did I claim he was my expert on Martin Luther? Also, where did I ever claim he was Catholic? I have no idea what his religious beliefs are. I linked to his paper because he has interesting quotes FROM EVEN PROTESTANT SCHOLARS showing Luther was a nut.
The great book on the subject is from Herbert David Rix but you have to pay for that: https://books.google.com/books/about/Martin_Luther.html?id=FQB_TKWpHnwC
All I’m getting from your post is that you can’t actually refute anything in Jasko’s paper so your falsely claiming that I said he was an expert, that he MY expert and are claiming I knew he was Catholic when I had no idea what his religious beliefs are.
Your post reeks of desperation. Can you refute what Jasko wrote? Can you refute what the Protestant scholars he quotes wrote? Anything? No, apparently not.
You claimed his authority when you posted his paper on this site to support your argument.
That’s called “An Appeal to Authority” argument. Ergo, you cited him as an authority. If you didn’t believe the man was an authority on the topic then why bother citing his paper as being authoritative?
Now you’ve cited an obscure Herbert David Rix as an authority and his book is FREE on Google and it has ONE review and only eighteen downloads. Art Sippo thinks the world of it.
Art Sippo is a Catholic apologist who relished the pseudo-intellectual pursuit of psychohistory in which he repeatedly diagnosed historical Protestants such as Martin Luther, Calvin, Wesley, etc. as being mentally ill...all of which underlined his overarching premise that Protestant belief itself is a form of mental illness and that only through submission to the RCC could one attain mental health.
Which to me seems like he was ripping off L. Ron Hubbard.
Have any other charlatans you’d like me to tear apart for you? I’m free for about another hour before I have to go start dinner.

Also, I’m noticing a concurrence of interests, experience, and similarities in phrasing between you and Mr. Jasko.
