Luther is just a man.

And he wrote some things that had no honor. He talked about anti-semitism, the popes acted upon it. But some Catholics here don't see the latter as a problem. No poisonous evil fruit, no 'false apostleship even when they are a 'Vicar', nothing even when one of their 'saints' engages in them. No credibility in their words.

And he wrote many things that were wise, and stood fast in a massive struggle... Standing upon his faith in YHWH. There is much to Luther's credit (as far as men can see)... But he is but a man. Sinful, sometimes short sighted, and full of foibles... Like every man. I don't think I denigrate him in the least in that, and I daresay he would be the first to admit it. Nor do I mean to denigrate the (orthodox) Lutherans, who are a good and faithful people (yourself included). I think that any one of them would be quick to admit that they are disciples of Christ, and not Luther.

That is perfectly correct, except in that you failed to mention that the Roman church did as such for hundreds and hundreds of years. Not letting Luther off the hook by any means, but his writings, by comparison, are insignificant.
