Certainly, nothing in Luther’s ugly anti-Semitism gets his ugly anti-Semitic Catholic contemporaries off the hook!
Luther didn’t invent anti-Semitism. He was no better but no worse than his Roman Catholic contemporaries. His particular set of beliefs were essentially codified in Nazi Germany due to the fact that the German State Church was Lutheran, it was corrupted and perverted intentionally by the Nazis, to their own ends. They hated Christians and Christianity, only surpassed by their wildly murderous hatred of Jews.
I’ve stated many times my opposition to any State Church, not just in the US but worldwide. It’s wrong, it corrupts the religious belief and it corrupts the State. Roman Catholics have no room to critique a State Church, however, with the Vatican being more than just a mere State Church itself. It’s a State, with a seat at the United Nations.
For those sincere believers within the Roman Catholic Church, and I’ve known many, maybe this will help you with your difficulty in understanding why your current Pope is so preoccupied with the political to the point that he’s been antithetical to Catholic doctrine. The State has corrupted and taken over the religion just as it did in Germany.
Who are the enemies of the State this time? Ponder that, Traditionalists.
