Yes
Catholic leaders and popes of the time were antisemitic
The nazis added a couple points to their writings and killed 6 million Jews
See how that works?

The nazis are responsible for their atrocities luther and the popes/cardinals of their tone are responsible for their own antisemitism

Here is the rub.

Catholic theology allows for wicked popes and other leaders to be cast into utter darkness. It does not teach a "once saved, always saved" doctrine. It is a mortal wound to Reformation theology to admit Martin Luther will not inherit the Kingdom of God because of how he ended his days, and so it must grasp at every straw to overlook who he really was. Some fundamentalists (i.e., Baptists) can asset Luther was never really "saved" and so their theology dispenses with him and the mortal threat he poses to their profession.

Can you allow that Martin Luther is not saved ?
