he was necessary. so long as the catholic church is run by mortal corruptible men it will always be deeply flawed

This. I go to a Lutheran church but went to a Catholic high school. They completely ignore the fact that there were priests selling indulgences and just say that he broke up the unity of the church.

Power corrupts.

The reformation had to happen , martin luther is a hero and succeeded where many had failed

Needs more Islam.

Jesus INTENDED Martin Luther to be a GREAT CATHOLIC SAINT-REFORMER in the tradition of Saint Francis of Assisi.

But Luther did not fulfill his vocation, becoming a revolutionary rather than a reformer.

>Yes, it was night. Had Martin Luther then arisen with his marvellous gifts of mind and heart, his warm penetration of the essence of Christianity, his passionate defiance of all unholiness and ungodliness, the elemental fury of his religious experience, his surging, soul-shattering power of speech, and not least that heroism in the face of death with which he defied the powers of this world.

>Had he brought all these magnificent qualities to the removal of the abuses of the time and the cleansing of God's garden from weeds, had he remained a faithful member of his Church, humble and simple, sincere and pure, then indeed we should to-day be his grateful debtors.

>He would be forever our great Reformer, our true man of God, our teacher and leader, comparable to Thomas Aquinas and Francis of Assisi. He would have been the greatest saint of the German people, the refounder of the Church in Germany, a second Boniface.

>But -- and here lies the tragedy of the Reformation and of German Christianity--he let the warring spirits drive him to overthrow not merely the abuses in the Church, but the Church Herself, founded upon Peter, bearing through the centuries the apostolic succession.

>He let them drive him to commit what St. Augustine calls the greatest sin with which a Christian can burden himself: he set up altar against altar and tore in pieces the one Body of Christ.

The above is an excerpt from The Roots of the Reformation by Karl Adam, which you can read here:

Catholics worship crackers, statues, and Dah Ah Holy Ah Faddah. They are Satanic,will burn in hell, and dont believe Christ died as a complete ransom for sins.

He started off OK but went off the deep end and then got hijacked by German aristocrats for political reasons.

The Counter Reformation was a concession to Luther on the corruption.

Lutheranism is the only Protestant sect I can kind of understand, Calvin et al. is just too weird.

I think he helped the Catholic Church despite how fucked up Germany and surrounding areas became in the aftermath. Without a strong center of the reformation, it would be seen as another heresy and the Church would continue to be weakened for far longer.

He was redpilled af.

He was a great man ,but he opened the can of worms that leads to crazy make their own religion

FUCK THIS FAT FUCK

He started off as Blue-Pilled, but then learned the hard way

Protestant reformation was a rosicrucian/freemason attack against the Jesuits.

>not going to based Lutheran schools

>But Luther did not fulfill his vocation, becoming a revolutionary rather than a reformer.
Luther was a reformer. Thomas Müntzer was a revolutionary. That guy was fucking berserk.

We learned about the Indulgences.

Lutherans and their lies strike again.

>Founder of the Catholic Church: Jesus
>Founder of the German Reformed Church; A fat drunk
>Founder of the English Reformed Church: A Fat Pervert

>Martin Luther
>Martin Luther King, Jr.

one cucked the church and one cucked america

wew lad

Agreed

>implying that vesting the pope with the authority to declare dogma hadn't already opened that can of worms
With the improvements in communications after 1000 AD, Rome no longer being one of several patriarchates, and the development of scholastic theology the conditions had already risen for a church apparatus that innovates.

He was completely right and did nothing wrong until he started changing theological doctrines

>muh consubstantiation

Your chronology is off. Jesuits are a counterreformation thing. They can't have been the target of a movement that started before they existed.

Jesuits are simply a monastic order created because some of the older orders (Augustinians in particular, but also Dominicans) were not standing strong in the face of the Reformation.

Luther probably would have been Muntzer tier if it wasn't apparent that he could never defeat the Lords

...

I'm one of Martin-san's direct descendants.

His narcissism destroyed the west and Christianity. Luther himself wasn't that terrible, but he really did open a can of worms. The worst were when heretics like Calvin unleashed his mechanical god into the world.

He was wrong about sola scriptura, as the scriptures have been proven to have been changed and rewritten.
He was wrong about sola fide, as that definitely leads to a heartless society.
