Nevertheless, his actions in challenging the established church were heroic and his influence on western history and culture incalculable (and largely for the good, in my opinion).Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082263093224795131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23020024246126389.post-82481326862918500672010-11-04T23:50:33.221-05:002010-11-04T23:50:33.221-05:00I notice you didn't quote some of his other &q...I notice you didn't quote some of his other "gems" like On the Jews and Their Lies or On the Murdering and Ravening Hordes of Peasants.<br /> Charming man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23020024246126389.post-86133263757387929492010-11-01T18:30:01.801-05:002010-11-01T18:30:01.801-05:00I really like the lighthearted flavor of these quo...I really like the lighthearted flavor of these quotes.
