As your accusation against Luther - aside from the fantasy about lusting to marry and escaping in barrels to do so, and making that as evil as homo marriage - rests upon the premise that Rome is the supreme authority...

Obviously I cannot know about lusting or not lusting but they did escape in a barrel -- that is no fantasy. The evil is a bit less than homosexuality since heterosexual lust is a natural instinct. The arguments in defense of their fornication are, however, the same, because the crime is the same: people not free to marry attempt to "marry". And yes, Rome is the supreme authority for Christians on earth.

"They," as in Luther and Kathrina, which is how you made it sound, did not escape in a barrel. (And to be technical, one account says it was among the barrels.) Paul used a rope when he needed to escape.

the crime is the same: people not free to marry..". And yes, Rome is the supreme authority for Christians on earth

That, as said, is the real basis of the argument, and which we find self declared and unwarranted.

Correction: And yes, Rome is the supreme authority for Christians Catholics on earth.

Since the terms *Catholic* and *Christian* are not necessarily interchangeable, that it a more accurate statement.

Christians may be found within that Catholic church, that is true, but the rest of them are free from bondage to that organization. The only people accepting it as their supreme authority are Catholics and the RCC claiming it is does not make it so.
