I am a catholic....but....Luther had it right. Unfortunately, the Catholic church at that time brought the reformation on itself.
Luther had some things right. The selling of indulgences was nuts.
Salvation by Faith alone? If you’re “Catholic”, how say you?
Here is an example of what Martin Luther wrote..
“”Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly.... as long as we are here [in this world] we have to sin.... No sin will separate us from the Lamb, even though we commit fornication and murder a thousand times a day.” Letter to Melanchthon, August 1,1521 Luther's Works, vol. 48
You can see why the church did not need Luther to be part of the internal reformation from within
This is one of the best and most accurate articles concerning the reformation. Please take the time to read it.
