St. MARTIN LUTHER
Swan of The Reformation

The year is 1415, St. John Hus was proclaimed a heretic for speaking out against the Roman Church's promotion of indulgances and the Papacy. It is rumored that while he was burning, he cried out with a prophesy "You may cook this Goose(Hus), but in a hundred years there is a Swan you won't be able to cook!".

Moving forward to the year 1483, a little boy was born in Germany to Hans and Margarethe Luther. He was baptized the next morning on the feast day of St. Martin of Tours. Martin was brought up by his ambitious father to become a lawyer, so was sent to Latin schools to learn "trivium", which comprised logic, grammar, and rhetoric. Luther would describe this time period as "purgatory" and "hell".

In 1501 young Martin was accepted to the University of Erfurt, at the age of 17. He later described the institution as a "whorehouse", and expressed that the experience was that of "Days of rote learning, and often wearying spiritual exercises". He recieved his degree 1505. Contrary to his father's wishes, Martin soon dropped out of law and instead pursued philosophy and theology, as he viewed them as answers to find assurence in life, learning from such figures as Aristotle, St. Ockham, and Gabriel Biel.

 2 July 1505, while Luther was returning to university on horseback after a trip home, a lightning bolt struck near him during a thunderstorm. Later telling his father he was terrified of death and divine judgment, he cried out, "Help! Saint Anna, I will become a monk!" He came to view his cry for help as a vow he could never break. He left university, sold his books, and became and joined the Augustinian Order.

Luther devoted dedicated hours to prayers, fasting, pilgramages, frequent confessions. Luther described this period of his life as one of deep spiritual despair. He said, "I lost touch with Christ the Savior and Comforter, and made of him the jailer and hangman of my poor soul."

Johann Von Staupitz, Luther's superior and confessor, pointed his mind away from continual reflection of sins and instead taught that true repentance does not involve self-inflicted penances and punishments but rather a change of heart. April 1507, Jerome Schultz, Bishop of Brandenburg, ordained Luther to Erfurt Cathedral. 1508, Staupitz sent Luther to teach theology, after recieving bacher degree in Biblical studies. He was sent on a mission to Rome, and the experience left a negative impression as he found in Rome a "lack of spirituality at the very heart of Western Christendom".

In 1512, he was awarded Doctor of Theology, and in same year was received into the senate of the theological faculty of the University of Wittenberg, having succeeded his mentor Von Staupitz as chair of theology.

In 1516, The papacy, lead by Pope Leo X, a Medicci, devised a plan to gain enough money to rebuild St. Peter's Basillica in Rome. He sent Johann Tetzel, a Domincan Friar, to preach for the sales of indulgences, using aggressive slimy sales courcian, even once infamously claiming that "a man who gets an indulgence could violate the mother of God herself, and have their sins be forgiven", and stating that "As soon as the gold in the casket rings, the rescued soul to heaven springs".

Luther being disgusted at these sights, he wrote up scholarly objections to the sales of indulgence, these came to be later known as The 95 Theses. In theses 86, there lies a specific disputation that will foreshadow the the sentiments to follow the Reformation "Why does the pope, whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build the basilica of St. Peter with the money of poor believers rather than with his own money?".

On October 31, All Saints Day, Martin Luther walked up to the Wittenburg Church and nailed the 95 These to the door, and in doing so, he kickstarted one of the biggest events in human and Church history, even he at that time didn't foresee. The act of nailing scholarly disputations to doors was a common practice in academic/theological life, Luther himself wasn't trying to start some revolt, but instead start discussion about the exploitation of indulgences.

Eventually The 95 Theses was translated and circulated through newspaper around Germany without Luther's knowledge. Luther quickly became known through Germany, and the Roman Church took notice.

In 1518 Cardinal Cajatan, a Thomist legate, was assigned a three day period to interrogate Luther and to decide a verdict on his teachings. The Imperial Diet devolved into a shouting match, with Cajatan instructed to arrest Luther if he failed to recant. Before Cajatan could do so, Luther, with help from other monks, Luther was able to slip away to safety.

By the end of 1518, according to most scholars, Luther had reached true understanding of the pivotal Christian notion of salvation, or reconciliation with God. Over the centuries, the Roman Church had conceived the means of salvation in a variety of ways, but common to all of them was the idea that salvation is jointly effected by humans and by God—by humans through marshalling their will to do good works and thereby to please God and by God through his offer of forgiving grace. Luther broke dramatically with this innovated tradition by asserting that humans can contribute nothing to their salvation: salvation is, fully and completely, a work of divine grace.

After the Pope issued a papal bull publically condemning Luther's teachings, he tried to stop participating in debates. However, others decided to take his place, sounding the knell of Reform in both church and society. The controversy was drawing participants from wider circles and addressing broader and weightier theological issues, the most important of which was the question of the authority of the church and the pope.

Eventually, a bitter dispute between Andreas Carlstadt, a colleague of Luther, and Johann Eck, a theologian and able defender of the Roman Church, drew Luther back into the fray. Eventually all three agreed to a public debate which took place in Leipzig in June 1519. Johann Eck was a skilled debater, and wanted to pry Luther's opinions on the papacy, which he would than compare to the early Reformer John Hus. The debate made Luther realize that he shared many similar opinions to Hus, and famously admitted "I am a Hussite" to which Eck wasted no time in using to slander him slander.

Meanwhile, after a delay caused by the election of the new German emperor, the formal ecclesiastical proceedings against Luther were revived in the fall of 1519. In January 1520 a consistory heard the recommendation that Luther’s orthodoxy be examined, and one month later a papal commission concluded that Luther’s teachings were heretical. Because this conclusion seemed hasty to some members of the Curia, another commission, consisting of the heads of the several important monastic orders, was convened, and it rendered the surprisingly mild judgment that Luther’s propositions were “scandalous and offensive to pious ears but not heretical".

After Eck appeared in Rome and made dire pronouncements on the situation in Germany, yet another examination of Luther’s writings was undertaken. Finally, on June 15, 1520, Leo issued the bull Exsurge Domine(“Arise O Lord”), which charged that 41 sentences in Luther’s various writings were “heretical, scandalous, offensive to pious ears” though it did not specify which sentences had received what verdict. Others noted various formal deficiencies in Exsurge Domine, including the fact that it did not correctly quote Luther and that one of the sentences it condemned was actually written by another author. 

Luther was given 60 days upon receiving the bull to recant and another 60 days to report his recantation to Rome.

At first Luther thought the Papal Bull was a rumor spread by Eck, but upon the expiration of the 60-day period stipulated in the bull, on December 10, 1520, Luther cancelled his classes, marched to a bonfire started by his students outside one of the city gates, and threw a copy of the bull into the fire, calling it a "blast of wind". Luther was formerly declared a heretic, and thus was in danger of being apprehended by authorities and killed by the stake.

Ordinarily, Luther should have been apprehended by state authorities and killed, however God had better plans for him. Coincidentally, the newly crowned Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, promised as condition for his election that no German would be convicted without fair proper hearing.

Understandably, the papal nuncio Girolamo Aleandro, who represented the Curia in the Holy Roman Empire, vehemently rejected this idea. His position was clear: a convicted heretic did not warrant a hearing. 

Charles shared Aleandro’s sentiment but realized that the idea of giving Luther a hearing enjoyed widespread support in Germany. Charles’s adviser Mercurino Gattinara, mindful of the need for good relations with the estates, repeatedly urged the emperor not to issue an edict against Luther without their full consent.

Gattinara’s caution was justified, because in February the estates refused to support an edict condemning Luther’s writings and instead urged that, in view of the restlessness of the commoners, Luther be cited to appear before the Diet “to the benefit and advantage of the entire German nation, the Holy Roman Empire, our Christian faith, and all estates.” 

Charles acceded, and on March 6, 1521, he issued a formal invitation to Luther to appear before the estates assembled in Worms, known today as the "Diet of Worms", which will be the true beginning of the Protestant Reformation, the same one John Hus predictably imagined over 100 years before it.
Classic, Michael Jewfton of Reason and Vatican2ology agrees with someone in the comments who says bishops are right in being hesitant about allowing TLM’s in their diocese. Wanna know why they’re hesitant, TJB? It’s because they’re afraid of a resurgence of tradition within the Church. It’s as simple as that.

Also, I find it quite funny Lofton agrees with him in saying that pride is our vice yet attacks “rad trads” all day and defends Vatican II like a rabid dog defending his home from an intruder.

pride is our vice according to Lofton unless its LGBT pride
😲👌 Want to know how to be like Michael Lofton and achieve max levels of nuance? Just go ahead and read this:

💩🤡Hey guys, Michael Jewfton of Reason and Vatican2ology here. Today we will be owning the rad trads by refusing to address any of their objections to Vatican II and slandering them as much as we can. The reason why I’m doing this today guys is because these trolls are getting really out of hand. I mean, they call me Jewfton, they say Vatican II is heretical, they don’t like idols being put in St. Peter’s, or Modernism and Religious liberty; and they also don’t like JPII kissing the Quran!! Like cmon, seriously? Is this really trad behaviour? I’m getting really sick and tired of these people telling the truth and I can’t stand it anymore so I’m going to defend pachmanmama to really show them! Imagine not being able to grasp nuance in 2021 bro... you just don’t get it, Vatican II is actually trad... my names Michael Jewfton and my favourite document ever is Dignitatis Humanae, it’s so trad. Anyways guys, enough for the show today, peace out ✌️
According to Michael Jewfton I have to take time to discern whether pacmanmama or kissing the Quran is good or bad
Lol apparently making fun of Lofton being married to a nigger is “demonic.”
This is scandalous. Jordan Peterson isn’t Catholic, don’t follow his advice at all when it comes to your spiritual life. Very telling that Pints with Francis is telling you to the follow the advice of Jordan Peterson rather than the Saints and Doctors of the Church.

JOSE ANTONIO PRIMO DE RIVERA AND THE FALANGE.
The Spanish Falange supported Spanish intervention during World War II against the Soviet Union in the name of anti-communism, resulting in Spain supporting the Anti-Comintern Pact and sending volunteers to join Nazi Germany's foreign legions on the Eastern Front to support the German war effort against the Soviet Union.

Dr. E. Michael Jones explains how Catholic universities were stolen from the Catholic Church in the 1960s and are still in a place of open rebellion to this day. (He was also 100% right that birth control was the thin end of the wedge that led to abortion and sodomy being legalized.)
>Protestant calling Arian emperor based and a “Christian” lmao

Literally nobody is surprised
