Rick Steves' Luther and the Reformation

Rick Steves' Europe © 2016 | Five hundred years ago, Martin Luther kicked off the Protestant Reformation, which contributed to the birth of our modern age. In this one-hour special - filmed on location in Europe - Rick Steves tells the story of a humble monk who lived a dramatic life. Rick visits key sites relating to the Reformation (including Erfurt, Wittenberg, and Rome) and explores the complicated political world of 16th-century Europe - from indulgences to iconoclasts, and from the printing press to the Counter-Reformation. It’s a story of power, rebellion, and faith that you’ll never forget. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #martinluther

I was blessed to go "In the Footsteps of Martin Luther" in 2000 with a group led by a Lutheran pastor from Arlington, Tx. It was an unforgettable 2-wk tour & there were many Lutherans from USA. We visited that year in order to attend the world famous Passion Play, performed every 10 years by the people of the little town of Oberammergau. It was an experience I will never forget! We visited site of Luther's birth and death. It was all very educational & inspirational.

@David Ortiz What's the point? I can say, read the Hussite Wars. Muntzer supported the revolt. And the cause was not about being Catholic (actually many weren't) it was about the oppressive taxes by the nobility. They revolted because they thought they had the Tacit approval of Luther (priesthood of believers doctrine). The peasants revolt followed the Knights Revolt, headed by Franz von Sickingen (Live 5 kilometers from where he died). Why did Luther object to the revolts, he didn't war. He doesn't help himself by his writing style. He also felt that war would only hurt the reformation movement. Heck Even Engels recognized the war was class struggle and not religious. I suggest you read more than just stuff that reinforces your bias.

Rick - this is one of your better documentaries. Thank you. But today I still see rich churches and the poor and homeless on their doorsteps. The Churches do not have any authority to be rich and what they hold should be shared out among those in most need.

[@a.d.marshall2748]

Corporations are antichrist and run by nicolaitans, that is, clergy over the laity. Priests of Ba'al, basically. Christ's churches are a spiritual entity comprised of called out and assembled saints and any common property is held in trust for the Lord Jesus Christ. My pastor is as accountable to God's word as any other member and no man is above any other in the authoritarian sense. The body labors together and no one has any salary. But you'll never find but a few Baptists who ever so obeyed God, and Luther wanted us exterminated. Why? He's Rome's child. All the reformers are. Perhaps not all lost, but mostly.

[@vaughangarrick]

Its not up to churches but you as an individual to help people. Didn't your church teach you that God tests our individual agencies to help alleviate suffering?

[@a.d.marshall2748]

Also you aren't Christ. You don't get to tell any body of believers what they are to do. what you are describing is a byproduct of Nicolaitanism, which Jesus already condemned, and which the so called reformed so called churches practice openly.

[@mountetna4719]

n Luther's time, the Catholic Church was vast and the Pope could not possibly know everything that is happening within each Church. Modern communication, like phones, telegraph, and the internet did not exist. The undeniable fact that individual Catholics (perhaps the best known of them being the German Dominican Johann Tetzel [1465-1519]) did sell indulgences--but in doing so they acted CONTRARY to explicit Church regulations. This practice is utterly OPPOSED to the Catholic Church's teaching on indulgences, and it cannot be regarded as a teaching or practice of the Church. In the 16th century, when the abuse of indulgences was at its height, Cardinal Cajetan (Tommaso de Vio, 1469-1534) wrote about the problem: "Preachers act in the name of the Church so long as they teach the doctrines of Christ and the Church; but if they teach, guided by their own minds and arbitrariness of will, things of which they are ignorant, they cannot pass as representatives of the Church; it need not be wondered at that they go astray." The Council of Trent instituted severe reforms in the practice of granting indulgences, and, because of prior abuses, "in 1567 Pope Pius V canceled all grants of indulgences involving any fees or other financial transactions" (Catholic Encyclopedia). This act proved the Church’s seriousness about removing abuses from indulgences. ************************************* Yes, the Catholic Church has indulgences, but they were not for sale. They were personal sacrifices made for sinners, so that God would intervene on their behalf, like fasting and praying. If we ignore the fact of indulgences, we neglect what Christ does through us, and we fail to recognize the value of what he has done in us. Paul used this very sort of language: "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church" (Col. 1:24)
