Luther loved Frederick III. “Frederick III is commemorated as a Christian ruler in the Calendar of Saints of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod on 5 May.” Support heresy and get your own feast day in Lutheranism!

Well, if I were Lutherean you may have a point. However, I'm not so again you have no point (I call that WINNING). It seems Roman Catholicism is fascinated with Luther. To quote one of your fellow Catholics former taglines regarding Luther....he's living rent free in your head....now, at least it's not empty.

“Well, if I were Lutherean you may have a point.”

No, the point stands whether you’re a Lutheran or not. Frederick III only has a feast day among Lutherans because he supported the heretic Luther. How is that fact changed depending on whether you’re a Lutheran or not?

If I said, “Sultan Rafi Sharif Bey is considered a spiritual master by the Moorish Orthodox Church of America” how on earth would that be changed by the fact that you’re not a Muslim, or not black (neither was he by the way), or not a Jew (which he originally was)???? What the one got to do with the other?

“However, I’m not so again you have no point (I call that WINNING).”

No, what I said is true and therefore it stands.

“It seems Roman Catholicism is fascinated with Luther. To quote one of your fellow Catholics former taglines regarding Luther....he’s living rent free in your head....now, at least it’s not empty.”

Luther is a fascinating figure: He was a strange and conflicted figure, probably bi-polar, brilliant and yet stupid at the same time, high-minded one moment and indecent and profane the next. As I mentioned before the three people who have the most biographies written about them throughout history are Jesus Christ, Adolf Hitler and Martin Luther. And that fact is not changed if you’re not a Lutheran either.

Resort to your programming now, eagleone.
