 | | Martin Luther, Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter Reformation | | by Ebey Soman, Nov 6, 2008 | | In AD 1500, just like Europe, the Catholic Church was experiencing rapid growth and prosperity as they began to engage in church building throughout Europe including the building of the Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome. But it was this rapid growth that led to shortage of cash - thus the selling of indulgences. One brave man, Friar Martin Luther, stood up aganist the church and revolutionized Europe and the world. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 6 |

 | | Lutherstadt Wittenberg: The Roots of German Antisemitism
| | by Globus, Apr 12, 2008 | | The area south-east of Berlin, called the Altmark, is characterized by the extensive use of red brick in most buildings, including churches and some monumental cathedrals dating back to the early middle ages. The quaint medieval town of Wittenberg on the Elbe river is proudly called Lutherstadt Wittenberg because German Reformation leader Martin Luther (1483-1546) who settled here about 1521 taught, preached and is buried at the St. Marien Evangelical Church. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |
