The pictures say everything anyone needs to know. There is no worthy explantation to that junk.

Junk?! The following is junk to me.

Did Martin Luther Regard the (Roman) Catholic Church as a Non-Christian, Apostate Institution?

Birth and Origin of the Pope; art (one of a series of eight) commissioned by Martin Luther to the artist Lucas Cranach, for his work Against the Papacy at Rome, Founded by the Devil (March 1545). Luther told him what to depict, and wrote a rhyming verse for each plate. Mark Edwards, from whose book I found this "art" (see below) wrote: "A third cartoon shows the Pope and three cardinals being expelled from the anus of a female devil while three furies are nursing and caring for three infant popes . . . a graphic echo of Luther's assertion in his treatise that the pope had been born from the devil's behind."

It's not surprising to me that you have a lack of respect for the Catholic Church as Luther was there before you. You know the joke, though. If Luther is not in hell, it's only because the Catholics prayed him to purgatory.

Luther was a Catholic. He pointed out some of the errors but retained most. True followers of Christ see Luther for what he was and hold him in no regard whatsoever.

LOLOLOL...

...trying to bring Martin Luther into the mix...yes let's distract from the ongoing thread of relics and idolatry the catholic church takes great pride in...that'll work....let's look at what they were doing then...

Ka-bom!.......God loves to use the willing!

Sale of Indulgences by catholic priests and the lot of them....making merchandise of the people...robbing them blind to build up the coffers of the Priesthood....
