or stickum where the doors are glass
::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::
Martin Luther had come to believe that :
Christians are saved through faith and not through their own efforts.
This turned him against many of the major teachings of the Catholic Church.
In 1519 -1520, he wrote a series of pamphlets developing his ideas -
'On Christian Liberty',
'On the Freedom of a Christian Man',
'To the Christian Nobility'
'On the Babylonian Captivity of the Church'.
In January 1521, the Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther....
He was then summoned to appear at the Diet of Worms, an assembly of the Holy Roman Empire.
He refused to recant :
and Emperor Charles V declared him an outlaw and a heretic.
