[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Luther took that from the fact that many of the Old Testament patriarchs like Abraham, David, Solomon, and the had multiple wives.

Yes, but that was not sanctioned by God. Adam had one wife. His descendants took it upon themselves to give themselves more. Sarah herself gave Hagar to Abraham. God did not. God never sanctioned polygamy.

The Old Testament corruption is also the rationale Mormons use for polygamy.

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.
