No you can't. Not in Catholicism.
but it is ludicrous to think politics within the Roman Church had no bearing on what happened to Martin Luther.
Only if one subscribes to your idiotic definition of "politics" as the taking of any contrary position in any disputation.
really, so politics within the ROman Catholic Church had nothing to do with what happened in the Martin Luther situation.
UNBELIEVABLE.
Why are people staying out of this situation as long as they can??? Why would people do that? Do they not have view? Are they scared to voice it? Are they afraid of repercussions?
The very fact that someone would use the phrase “as long as they can” indicates there is an issue of why they want to stay hidden
