Yeah, no. Rome was a cesspool of corruption and Luther exposed it.

To the contrary, five centuries ago Martin Luther warned that the Roman Church had been perverted by the Antichrist, the pope, through the practice of indulgences and works, which subverted the Gospel of justification by grace (Eph. 2:8-9; Mt 15:7-9).

In his Smalcald Articles (Part II, Art. XIII) Luther wrote: “We do not concede to the papists that they are the Church, for they are not. Nor shall we pay attention to what they command or forbid in the name of the Church, for thank God, a seven-year-old child knows what the Church is, namely, holy believers and lambs who hear the voice of their Shepherd. So children pray, ‘I believe in one holy Christian Church.’ Its holiness does not consist of surplices, tonsures, albs, or other ceremonies of theirs which they have invented beyond and above Holy Scripture, but it consists of the Word of God and true faith.”

“Five centuries ago, the devil entered into Martin Luther....”

Wow. bitter much ?

You should read your Bible.

James 4:11 and many other passages.

11 Brothers and sisters, stop slandering each other. Those who slander and judge other believers slander and judge God’s laws. If you judge God’s teachings, you are no longer following them. Instead, you are judging them.”
