http://www.sacred-destinations.com/germany/wittenberg-luther-house gives a good description of Martin Luther’s estate. I don’t know where you are getting your information from but I suspect that it is the same place that our children get their from that has us number 50 or so in the world in terms of scholastic ability. You are so wrong on so many levels that it boggles my mind.

What a joke, criticizing Luther for having an estate.

If Luther’s property was legally his through earning or inheritance, what’s the issue? Would it be better if he lived like that off the donations of his followers?

From your link.....

The Augustinian monastery of Wittenberg, at which Martin Luther was a monk, was dissolved at the outset of the Reformation. Part of it was made into a residence hall for students and the rest was given to Luther as a family home.

What's the matter? You have something against private property? Money? People owning their own stuff?
