Any stamps for Calvin and Zwingly?
No doubt a stamp honoring THE PROPHET Mohammed and Allah as the “one true God” will be coming soon.

I guess Hitler was not available, so they went with the antisemite who inspired Hitler.
Is there anyone in the Vatican who has a pair of balls and is willing to remind this asshat pope that he is Catholic? WTF?
Psalm 109:8 Let his days be few; Let another take his office.
How bout Lenny and Squiggy ?
Pope Francis probably admires Luther because he left the Church and married a Nun. A pioneer in the violation of marriage and family.
You’ll recall that Hitler was Roman Catholic, not Lutheran.
Why?
Hitler’s mom was Catholic. Hitler himself was... something else.
You'd think the Church hierarchy would've had it with the faux Pope by now.
“You’ll recall that Hitler was Roman Catholic, not Lutheran.”
You’ll recall that Martin Luther wrote “On Jews and Their Lies,” which was a step-by-step plan for the Shoa (aka “Holocaust”), including instructions to:
burn down Jewish synagogues and schools;
refuse to let Jews own houses among Christians;
take away Jewish religious writings;
forbid Rabbis from preaching or teaching;
strip Jews of civil and criminal rights and restrict their freedom of travel;
confiscate all their savings and wealth; and finally
create slave work camps for those able.
The Nazis not only used Luther’s writings as theological cover for their crimes, they passed out his “On Jews and their Lies” at rallies.
And they obviously followed his Final Solution for the Jews in Europe.
Julius Streicher, the editor of the Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer, decrined Luther’s tract “as the most radically antisemitic tract ever published.”
“You’ll recall that Hitler was Roman Catholic, not Lutheran.”
I’ll take your word for it that Adolph called himself Catholic. Even if true, he obviously had a falling away from the faith.
Just calling yourself something or having a title doesn’t make it authentic. Multitudes of examples - Nancy Pelosi is one.
It’s rather unfair to lay all the damage of the 30 Years War on Luther. It began as a religious war but quickly degenerated into competition by the great powers of the day for domination of Europe. By the end of the War it was Hapsburgs down and France and Sweden up.
Anathema.

This one will be a “baby step” compared to what he plans to do down the road.
