So Luther was able to think for himself, this brilliant man who led people to the true church of Protestantism, somehow couldn’t rid himself of his anti-Semitism because he was young and heavily influenced by the Roman Catholic Church.

Yeah, that logic stands up.

Believe what you want about Luther. I don’t care what anyone thinks of him. I’m neither German nor Lutheran and I might have as many disagreements with Luther as I do your pope. That said I’m a Protestant who appreciates the significance of what Luther and the other Reformers accomplished. Recovering the gospel of free grace was no small feat. I recognize I’m a beneficiary of what they did, as are all Americans, including Jews and Roman Catholics.

I understand you have a problem with Luther’s anti-Semitism. I’m with you there and I said as much in this very thread. I will presume you are as concerned about Rome’s sordid history of anti-Semitism as you are Luther’s.

Also, I’ve never heard of the church of Protestantism.
