I find it outrageous when Martin Luther is pilloried but a good number of their top leaders - supposed successors to St. Peter, himself - get a pass for their overt and depraved lifestyles. Luther is condemned because he left the Catholic priesthood and much later married a former Catholic nun, who also left the Roman Catholic church. He wasn't a "fornicator" - unlike the popes who kept mistresses, had children by them and held bacchanals within the very Vatican! He wasn't a drunkard nor did he ever have anyone murdered so he could get the popehood and all the luxuries that came with it. It's funny that so many don't ever get around to acknowledging that!

It’s staggering to see the depths of deception that enable someone to not see the blinding hypocrisy in that position.

Luther called the Pope the anti-Christ. Luther was Christianity’s number 1 heretic and it’s a miracle he didn’t lose his head. Luther and his radical followers broke apart Jesus’ Pilgrim Church on Earth. Error has been taught for over 500 years due to the heretic Luther.
