Martin Luther was Italian?

This should make both the Protestants and the pigeons happy. LOL

Stupid.

Man, the lengths studios go to nowadays to promote their properties.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer semi-illiterate genocidal maniac. Love the majority of his life dedicated to killing Jews! I’m thinmking - what? Luther, Goering and maybe Hadrian in a little tryptich at the Fontana di Trevi? (cue Freepers checking “wikipedia” instead of Luther’s own works advocating the annihilation of Jews...) “Read ye whatever... Make it up as you go along... But whatever you do, kill ye some Jews!” No, but seriously. Great guy. Needs a statue in the seat of the actual Church. Very diverse! Love it.

We know that Italian politicians are ultra sensitive to the moods of the Vatican hierarchy, and without their consent it would have been difficult to reach this goal”, Bogliolo comments.

Adventists honoring LUTHER in ROME? Can we assume the square will be closed on Saturday?

[Fester Chugabrew]

1] The Roman Pontiff claims for himself [in the first place] that by divine right he is [supreme] above all bishops and pastors [in all Christendom].

2] Secondly, he adds also that by divine right he has both swords, i.e., the authority also of bestowing kingdoms [enthroning and deposing kings, regulating secular dominions etc.].

3] And thirdly, he says that to believe this is necessary for salvation. And for these reasons the Roman bishop calls himself [and boasts that he is] the vicar of Christ on earth.

4] These three articles we hold to be false, godless, tyrannical, and [quite] pernicious to the Church.

Has anything changed since 1580? If so, what, besides the apparent fact Rome is now willing to accord a square for the pigeons?

Luke 22:25. Christ expressly prohibits lordship among the apostles [that no apostle should have any supremacy over the rest]. For this was the very question, namely, that when Christ spake of His passion, they were disputing who should be at the head, and as it were the vicar of the absent Christ. There Christ reproves this error of the apostles and teaches that there shall not be lordship or superiority among them, but that the apostles should be sent forth as equals to the common ministry of the Gospel. Accordingly, He says: The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors, but ye shall not be so; but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. The antithesis here shows [By holding these matters against one another, one sees] that lordship [among the apostles] is disapproved.

I am a Lutheran.

Why would the SDA’s want a Luther Square? Thew view him as just another “papist” (or at least the local ones do).

Is it by an Augustinian church?

[Elsie]

Vatican authorities have not opposed the project, evangelical sources said.

While our FR Catholic heads will EXPLODE!

[big'ol_freeper]

That shouldn’t sit well with the Jews considering Luther’s extreme bigotry towards them.
