Martin Luther Vs The Holy Roman Emperor | PODCAST | PART 4

Brilliant and amazing and that's just the history.

Science isn't done by consensus but religion is. 😇

A lot of stuff on Luther himself and the, shall we say, peculiarities of his psyche but this cannot explain the success of the Protestant cause within the Empire. Much more needs to be said about the political tensions within the Empire as the Hapsburgs attempted to increase Imperial control over the territory as well as the socio-economic developments in Europe at the time that created a receptive audience for the reformed religions.

Was that Luther swinging?

No mention of Erasmus?

For the American audience that doesn’t understand British slang what does shitting monks mean?

An unfortunate reference to Navalny.

To me, Martin Luther is exactly like Kerensky, the man who overthrew the Czar then continued exactly the same policies/problems. Solving nothing, he only made more innocent victims.

And a horrific attitude towards women. I am an Irish American and I have always seen Luther as very similar to Russian Alexander Kerensky. I have a much higher opinion of Nicholas II than most people because he tried everything in his power to stop WWI. WWI was NOT the Great War, World War II was the Great War of Good vs. Evil, WWI was the Stupid War. And I am still angry that Serbia didn't pay for the evil they wrought. Kerensky was stupid and continued the Czar's policies, basically unchanged. And got exactly the same result. Rasputin had almost convinced Nicholas II to call for a Peace Conference. Martin Luther demanded change and the proceeded to not make things better, simply implementing different problems. Intolerance is something every person in the American South knows, because, as America's Great Lawyer, Clarence Darrow said, it was the most religious and least christian place on earth.

absolutely Gripping! I'm addicted to your podcasts.

Babies eat worms, snot, chocolate could be easily mistaken for shhhh.

Is the guy on the left intentionally trying to appear like a monk?

There was no swing. Luther saw himself as a conservative pushing back against Roman liberalism, not a revolutionary fighting to overturn sacred tradition.

Insofar as Luther was a man following his religious conscious and willing to forfeit his own life for what he believed to be the divine truth, I find him admirable, however I find the desecration of religious imagery by his rampaging followers to be sad, crass, and foolish in the extreme. It is all too easy to destroy. It is lazy to destroy. Destroying works of great beauty, especially those that were the result of hundreds of years of work by people who were filled with adoration for God, is despicable.
It reminds me of Mao's nasty little gangs of feckless children, storming about and destroying the beautiful artifacts of Chinese culture in the bloodbath called the "Cultural Revolution". Whether it is Mao, Cromwell, or Luther, those who destroy art, those who burn books, those who can only express their stunted minds and unimaginative emotions through desecration are, in my opinion, the vermin of history.
Topple a corrupt church hierarchy? Sure! But for fuck's sake, leave the art alone!

I never thought a comparison between jacco macaco in Martin Luther would have ever been made, this is why your show is the best

"Hier ich stehe/Here I stand" A most classic statement of seriousness and resistance when faced with probable death.

The Wor in Worms is pronounced like the wor in worn.

The most amazing coup is that Luther died in his own bed. I suspect that if Luther had lived in this era, some loon would have shot him for being a heretic.

Charles V. won the election mainly, because Mr.Fugger from Augsburg had even more money than the Kings of France and England to buy the electors.😂

Not the subjective “Living my truth!” The exact opposite, the objective “Living God’s truth.” The scriptures.

It's hard not to think that there was a kind of repressed demand for some defiance to the Roman Catholic church in Europe - that this was all bubbling under the surface. This "indulgence" stuff seems very transparent and risible (thinking of Canterbury Tales' Pardoner with his pig bones), It was only a few years later that Henry VIII made the break. In some ways it's surprising that they kept the lid on it as long as they did.

Don't muslims think black dogs are the devil?

In the end, Luther opposes others who follow their consciences in directions different from his. So he himself demonstrates that when everyone follows their own conscience and 'lived experience' it leads to chaos and social breakdown.

Well easily you two are the best on the entire Internet. Thank you so much.

ATTABOY, LUTHER !!

It's interesting to hear you say that Luther used simple, short, earthy German language in creating his translation of the Bible because many historians same exactly the same thing about Tyndale... the creator of the original English Bible, which would form the foundation of the King James version.

Sounds to me like Luther had hemorrhoids from being constipated and straining. This can be incredibly painful and bloody when you have a flare up, plus, because your severely constipated the poop loses most it's water and then forms large ball shaped stools and sometimes their the size of tennis balls.

Tom has a Habsburg chin. And his name is Holland. Own up Tom ...

The words of wisdom echoes throughout time: the left can’t meme!

Pentiment was one of my favorite games of the last couple years, so all this talk about princes and peasants wars is very heartwarming

Dominic has a very impressive doctor who collection doesn't he!

Luther the inventor of cartoons and strips? I have always thought the Egyptians were the first cartooners :-)

Is it just me or does anyone else see Martin Luther seems to be bipolar? He goes from being very down on himself to being very full of himself ( almost a Jesus complex).

So. Luther positions himself as the agent of light v. the agent of darkness? Very Zoroastrianism of it. Divorces upon divorces Tom & Dom.

It's not the church but the law of Christ that determine who is Christian. The law of Christ is AKA the New Testament.

I was against him until he killed the dog

"ON SALE!
For only $6.99 you too can gaze upon the fishing pole of St.Peter and knock 15yrs off your Purgatory! Guaranteed!"

Dog murderer

"Jacco Macacco, the fighting-monkey who defeated a dog." 😂😂😂

It’s incredible the grasp religion had on people in the past

Funny moment when Dominic says "he's been pushed into a corner by ... what's that guy's name...Eck", because Eck means corner.

With how much you guys reference Elvis, i think we need an Elvis series.

That meeting between Luther and Emperor Charles must have been such a powerful thing to see. Maybe they knew how important it was, maybe not

He left his rear end exposed again, hence that look on his face. Should be more careful.

Martin Luther’s brother Jacob is my ancestor. Siblings and offsprings both share 50% of the persons, DNA So I might as well be Martin Luther defendant because I already have his DNA.

I am also descended from notable protestants, John Cotton, and Roger Williams. Edward Whitghtman The last man burned alive in England for the crime of heresy was my ancestor. My spirit and my brothers spirit are kind of in a line with my Christian rebel ancestors.

‘He’s all in’🤣🤣
