No, Luther opposed some really horrible practices and man made traditions. One specifically was that Luther opposed the burning of heretics. Funny, the RCC defended the practice against Luther. There are even Catholics today that approve of the practice and wish Luther would have burned.
“No, Luther opposed some really horrible practices and man made traditions. One specifically was that Luther opposed the burning of heretics.”
Actually Luther avidly supported the execution of those he considered heretics such as the Anabaptists. Gee, I guess you didn’t know that?
It’s not that Luther actually didn’t believe in burning or executing heretics. He just didn’t want to be one of them.
“Funny, the RCC defended the practice against Luther.”
Funny, it was the STATE LAW and Luther supported it and condemned it. He was all over the place. If you had ever read Dave Armstrong’s Martin Luther: Catholic Critical Analysis and Praise you would know this.
“There are even Catholics today that approve of the practice and wish Luther would have burned.”
I seriously doubt that anyone really wants to burn heretics. I think, instead, they spout off like Luther did. Mind you someone can easily make a case that if Luther had been executed Europe never would have suffered a whole series of massive wars as it did.
Someone ---> vladimir998; has him burning NOW!
