@johnsteila6049 Год назад

Luther happened to live in the age when the printing press was invented. It’s helpful to realize that the vast majority of people were illiterate in medieval times and before. That’s why pictures were painted on the walls of churches and stained glass windows served the same purpose. The only Bible that existed, pre-Heidelberg, was a hand written manuscript that was worth lots of money.

@boatcaptain6288 3 года назад

@Lutheranjenkins 3 года назад

There is no such thing as the “Protestant Church.” From the Reformation emerged the Trentian Roman Catholic tradition, the Lutheran (Evangelical Catholic) tradition, the Reformed tradition, and the Anabaptists. I feel like the Lutheran Confessions should've been mentioned, as this video seems to generalize all of the Protestant traditions as having been united in a counter-church to Rome. On the contrary, Dr. Luther was seeking to reform the Western Catholic Church. The goal wasn't to break away or be as un-catholic as possible, but to return the Western Church to the faith of the early Catholic Church.

Catholic comes from the greek word Katholikos which means universal. The problem is that the Catholic Church wasn’t being ‘catholic’ at that time and was being unfair in many ways. But at the same time I think that these problems weren’t going to be solved by creating a new church, I think in this case it would’ve been better to fight and overcome the mistakes that the church was doing. In the end there is so much division between Protestants that I don’t think it’s actually better. The Catholic Church is still standing and despite all its mistakes it is trying to do what it’s always been supposed to and always been called to do which is evangelize.
