Face it. He was an anti Semite and a glutton. Henry VIII was a cruel hedonist. These two guys will never be confused with Saint Peter or Saint Paul. Two founders of the Reformation were decadent at their core. No surprise how it all turned out five hundred years later.
Yeah, no more indulgences for sale. No more Inquisitions. No more Crusades. Etc, etc, etc...
Yawn.
When youse guys are having conniptions about the anti-Semitism, corruption, and wickedness in the Reformation-era Catholic church to the same degree, I’ll listen.
But in the meantime, it’s nothing but excuses to hate other Christians.
How preposterous. Luther was no more a glutton than your average Catholic monk. Henry VIII didn't found a church--and would of remained Roman Catholic--had the Church done his annulment (as it had done countless monarch's annulments before.) The founders of Anglicanism (Cranmer, Ridley, Latimer + 300+ more) were all cruelly burned to death by the fanatical Roman Catholic monarch bloody Mary.
Look at your Roman "Church" today--headed by a Marxist with the (supposed) authority of St. Peter. The key pro-abortion politicians in the USA are all Roman Catholic--with wide support by Roman Catholics. Roman Catholics have no room to talk about "purity," or fidelity to the faith. Sad, sad, sad.
