Again, Luther's view on bigamy was not one many agreed with.

However, you have to admit that relics where big business in the 1500's. Churches competed with each other,and many fraud where placed forth. Some even given official sanction, and then removed and denounced.

This is history, not an attack. The tone of every one here is getting a little out of hand. The RCC has made an effort in the last 150 years to clean up the many false relics out there.

Obviously you've never enjoyed a Nehi or RCC. Those are Southern relics, and while we don't exactly worship them, it comes close. :)

Truth has always been disfigured and distorted. It does not rendeer truth nugatory. Just because someone drinks to intoxication does not mean wine is sinful. Just because someone enages in fornication does not render the marital act sinful.

Relicas and Indulgences have been there since the get go - so has sin and abuse of those things. Nothing new under the sun
