King of Spain.

Wrong answer. The same as much of what you have posted to me. ML was not rich but poor. ML did not burn anabaptists at the stake (but apparently he wasn't against it). The Pope was very rich but still stooped to having indulgences sold. Naughty in my book. And people could read German in Germany. No surprise there. I'll shake the dust from my robe and leave you to whatever you wish to believe.

“Wrong answer.”

Why else do they call it the Spanish Inquisition?

“ML was not rich but poor.”

He was well off, as the evidence already posted in the thread shows.

“ML did not burn anabaptists at the stake”

Sure did, and gave his support for it. The irony is that Trent, despite not having direct contact with them, quotes Luther, word for word.

“The Pope was very rich but still stooped to having indulgences sold.”

Which Pope? Pius IV opposed Simony and called for reform of the Church. The same Pope who was Luther’s supposed ‘enemy’. Again, history shows that the Pope was mostly on Luther’s side.

“And people could read German in Germany.”

Germany didn’t exist back then. Nice try.

I take it you don’t care much for history?
