Luther’s Protestant Reformation and the German Peasants’ War, were separate events, happening about the same time, but occurring independently. Also, he took a middle course in the Peasant’s War. He supported the break with Rome that was opposed by the aristocratic clergy but not by other classes. He also tended to support the centralization and urbanization of the economy. This position alienated the lesser nobles, but shored up his position with the burghers. Also, was Luther one of the political leaders during the Thirty Years War?
Believe what you want, but the peasants cried out for Luther,who was just as instrumental in putting them down once he realized that his words had power. The Germans ate their own in the Thirty Years War. And, as an historian, myself, I believe (with Hillaire Belloc) that the Reformation would not have survived had it not also been imposed by a ruthless Henry VIII upon England, where it was by and large not a popular movement at all. Nevertheless, to each his own. Pax vobiscum. Ave Maria.
