In fact, I think Time named Martin Luther the Person of the Millennium -

Whoopee!

Time also named Hussein Obama Person of the Year twice and just last last year named Greta Thunberg Person of the Year.

You don't like Martin Luther? Regardless of Time's recognition, Martin Luther is considered one of the most consequential people who ever lived - incredibly brave and fearless for defying the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. His story is riveting, especially after posting his 95 theses on The Door (I think 95).

You may not like him but you can't deny his influence to this very day. Protestant churches just recognized the 500th anniversary of the Reformation a few years ago, with many having special services and some have started an annual tradition.

Luther was good for the Catholic church, too. He helped rid it of some of the corruption - such as paying for indulgences.

Martin Luther, I'm sure has a special place in heaven
