Luther, the Catholic priest who founded a religion. I know some priests do bad things but man that's something. And of course he would say that about the orthodox bc it supports his view point. (Same with removed the books he did from the Bible) But it makes you wonder why he didn't join the othrodox? I would say Catholics and Orthodox get along very now or at least I do with my Orthodox friends.

I have wondered that. 1. I think the reformers felt strongly that the western church needed direct reform, as opposed to exit. I agree. 2. The western and eastern church were in different geographical worlds. No internet. No AI translation. As a westerner, I'm grateful that the Reformation fathers did the work they did to salvage our tradition.

Did the Church need reform... Probably but the Church always needs work BC it's run by humans however much of the tradition survives. Why did he think ditching the sacraments was a good idea ?
