The orthodox Lutherans should point out that Luther hated the Jews a lot more than he hated the Catholics. Also, that Luther taught that it’s an unforgivable mortal sin to disobey the government.
These religious dogmas proved a tad bit embarrassing about 1944. One of the reasons there are more American Lutherans of German descent than there are German Lutherans nowadays.
Seems like Adolf Hitler was more of an anti-Christ than the Pope.
On the other hand, the guy wrote inspired church music.
Let’s not forget that Luther wasn’t the only founding Protestant; John Calvin provided as much, or more, of the intellectual rigor of Protestantism than Luther. And I say that as Lutheran.
(I used to be Anglican, but the Episcopalian church left me.)
