Luther

We watched Luther (2003) Monday. I thought it was a good biographical story. "During the early 16th Century idealistic German monk Martin Luther, disgusted by the materialism in the church, begins the dialogue that will lead to the Protestant Reformation." For those that do not know he is the one that posted the Ninety-Five Theses on the Power of Indulgences on the door of the catholic church. While I have read these before it was a lot easier understanding them when seeming them portayed on the big screen. The "indulgence" preachers reminded me of salesman shysters. No wonder he was so incensed with the way they conducted "business".
