"CHRIST THE KING LUTHERAN CHURCH" disfigures Church History About Luther


Follow up of dialogue in earlier post:

Assorted retorts from yahoo boards and elsewhere: Why Don't I Share Lutheran Admiration for Luther?

2:55 "the Church had put a bounty on his head, that if anyone killed him"

Can you document that?

Or are you informing yourself on Luther by Merle d'Aubigné, who should have been a novelist rather than a pastor?

@brandenburg2388
Are you a direct descendant of Grigori Rasputin?

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@hglundahl
@brandenburg2388 Are you part of "Christ the King Lutheran Ministries"?

If not, why are they not answering, but leaving a kind of ad hominem to "people" (if that's even the word) like you?

brandenburg2388
@hglundahl I'm just curious because you look so much like Rasputin from your hairstyle and beard.

Hans-Georg Lundahl
@brandenburg2388 Hairstyle and beard are very non-genetic things.

OK, women don't have beards, and some people are genetically bald, but otherwise ...

These guys love to spread falsehood against the Holy Roman Catholic church

Hans-Georg Lundahl

The papal bull stated that anyone who killed Luther would be held safe from any spiritual or secular punishment.

I answered.
The answer disappeared, but here is its content:

a) the part about killing was part of the Imperial ban, Charles V was Emperor, not Pope
b) there was probably no bounty, just a promise of non-punishment
c) the bull Decet Romanum Potificem declared that he should be reduced to begging:

IV We add to our present declaration, by our Apostolic authority, that states, territories, camps, towns and places in which these men have temporarily lived or chanced to visit, along with their possessions—cities which house cathedrals and metropolitans, monasteries and other religious and sacred places, privileged or unprivileged—one and all are placed under our ecclesiastical interdict, while this interdict lasts, no pretext of Apostolic Indulgence (except in cases the law allows, and even there, as it were, with the doors shut and those under excommunication and interdict excluded) shall avail to allow the celebration of mass and the other divine offices. We prescribe and enjoin that the men in question are everywhere to be denounced publicly as excommunicated, accursed, condemned, interdicted, deprived of possessions and incapable of owning them. They are to be strictly shunned by all faithful Christians.


There was also a note that the papal bull should be nailed to Church doors.

Irony?
