Insofar as Luther the man is concerned at issue is how Luther's scrupulosity, a psychological disorder, informed the development of reformed doctrine..."The Church cannot err in proclaiming the faith. Only the individual within her is liable to error." ~ Martin Luther

Apparently you are a student of Father O’Hare, but as with all quote mining from Catholics, it would be best to search this site for research on them, and see here on O’Hare and Psycho. http://beggarsallreformation.blogspot.com/2006/10/father-ohares-facts-about-luther.html

You are incorrect, again. That's twice today. I don't need Father O'Hare to prove that Luther suffered from scrupulosity:

When I was a monk I tried ever so hard to live up to the strict rules of my order. I used to make a list of my sins, and I was always on the way to confession, and whatever penances were enjoined upon me I performed religiously. In spite of it all, my conscience was always in a fever of doubt. The more I sought to help my poor stricken conscience the worse it got. The more I paid attention to the regulations the more I transgressed them. [1]

The assured veracity of assumptions is not so assuring.
