He had some legitimate grievances (which the Church had to address), but in the end he was neurotic about his own soul and strayed far from Christ’s teachings regarding salvation.

Well, personally I think he was closer to the truth that the Roman church. That’s why I’m a protestant. But what I don’t get, is why his statue is being built in Rome. Did Luther have a connection to that area where they are proposing this?

Did he live there? Study there? etc,,,
It seems to just be antagonistic. I doubt anyone would build a statue of Leo X in Wittenberg.

As to his neurosis, personally he is a flawed guy in many ways. I honestly doubt any of the players then would approve of ANY Christian denomination today, Roman catholic or protestant.

God used fallible Luther to recover the Gospel of Grace. That is enough
