Now that I have time, I will expound. The schism initiated by Martin Luther's 95 theses and the extremism it caused is what I was pointing out. This event was bad for the Roman Church in a number of ways. Not because of the dissent, but because of the extremism it caused on both sides of the issue. The papal response to Martin Luther was even worse.
The Roman Church became more xenophobic and conservative. It probably delayed much needed reforms in the Roman Church by 550 years. It also forced Martin Luther to work for his reforms outside of the Roman Church. Additionally, it encouraged extremists to deepen the rift and caused reverberations still felt today, c.f. the klan, etc. Russel Madere Webmaster 504.832.9835 SunShine Pages by EATEL www.sunshinepages.com -----Original Message----- From: Dana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 12:09 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Insane ah I misunderstood your point then.
