http://so...The Martin Luther/Mary document is here:<br />http://socrates58.blogspot.com/2004/05/martin-luthers-devotion-to-mary.html<br /><br />Mostly direct quotes from his sermons, so it's not conjecture.<br /><br />I guess my problem is that while selling indulgences was wrong and corrupt, he rejected Purgatory on the grounds of a corrupt practice. That's like saying "Children cheat on their homework, so we'll stop teaching them to read."<br /><br />I understand he was in a difficult position. But I can't agree with his tactics. I did reply on my weblog (which I now realize has mostly non-Catholic readers, so I'm probably going to get roasted in my combox. Oh well.)<br /><br />Thanks for opening dialogue! May it create unity and not anger.Jane Lebakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851954297667846546noreply@blogger.com
