Hundreds of millions of souls misled by Luther and his iconoclastic successors.
***Hundreds of millions of souls misled by Luther and his iconoclastic successors.***
Not just Luther.
The success of the Reformation depended to a great degree upon the irritation of the German nobility towards the Church. Without the influence of the Church, they could assume dictatorial control of their lands without any moral interference. Luther et al certainly wouldn’t provide any, so that they could see their way to complete control.
Calvin, on the other hand, assumed theocratic control over Geneva, killing, torturing and excommunicating with reckless abandon. A nice fellow, until he examined your soul and found it wanting.
Hundreds of millions of souls going to heaven and hoping you’ll be there too.
