For this, every true believer should be thankful for Luther... And overlook his many failures.
Interesting, isn't it?
When priests molest children, and the hierarchy looks the other way.
When popes bow down and kiss the koran or lead hedonistically immoral lifestyles, Hey, they're just human like the rest of us.
The church is full of sinners.
Nobody is perfect.
Nobody says the pope has to be perfect.
Priests can administer the sacraments even when practicing gross sin because the sacraments are valid as long as his *intent* is pure.
Yada, yada, yada, one excuse after another.
But gall dang it, that Luther better be PERFECT, pure as the new driven snow, sinless as Jesus or they'll shred him for it.
Quite the double standard they have set up there, isn't it?
The word *hypocrisy* comes to mind.
Verga's corollary to Godwin's Law. When a prot brings up the molestation of children by a Catholic priest they automatically lose the argument.
I see the Luther articles are being recycled again.
Some threads here on the FRRF are like that movie the Notebook. Doesn’t matter how long you are away from the forum, the same articles and worn out assertions keep coming back.

Luther was an alcoholic, Jew-hating, Catholic-hating, heretic, who only through the grace of God didn’t lose his head at the gallows.
