Luther and Reform

Emmanuel, Many Protestants are not aware or our own sordid history. Many point to the atrocities of Rome yet are not even aware of our own atrocities. "The Reformers themselves . . . e.g., Luther, Beza, and especially Calvin, were as intolerant to dissentients as the Roman Catholic Church." (Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church) Walther Kohler (Prodestant) states:      "In Luther's case it is impossible to speak of liberty of     conscience or religious freedom . . . The death-penalty     for heresy rested on the highest Lutheran authority . . ."     (Kohler, Walther, Reformation und Ketzerprozess) This is partly why I do not put Luther, Calvin and other reformists up on a pedastal. I will defend them only where they were right. Luther did not always practice what he preached. Bill
