splitting into separate groups by following men (think Luther and Calvin) which then establish different denominations and sects (which cannot agree with themselves and are always separating and splitting) to try to divide the holy catholic apostolic church, which is the body of Christ. Somehow this escapes you.

Doesn't escape me at all...Because with those verses, there is no Catholic religion...Luther apparently was trying to get people back to the words of God...That which was revolting to the Catholic religion...

There was one holy catholic apostolic faith for which the Apostles Paul and Peter were martyred. You apparentlydefend Luther, so I'll apparently consider you of Luther.

from Wikipedia, but there are lots of sources:
On the Jews and Their Lies (German: Von den Jüden und iren Lügen; in modern spelling Von den Juden und ihren Lügen) is a 65,000-word antisemitic treatise written in 1543 by the German Reformation leader Martin Luther.
...
The prevailing scholarly view[5] since the Second World War is that the treatise exercised a major and persistent influence on Germany's attitude toward its Jewish citizens in the centuries between the Reformation and the Holocaust. Four hundred years after it was written, the Nazis displayed On the Jews and Their Lies during Nuremberg rallies, and the city of Nuremberg presented a first edition to Julius Streicher, editor of the Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer, the newspaper describing it as the most radically antisemitic tract ever published.
