The Catholics and the Lutherans are different denominations of the same religion of Christianity. Many people that are not members of either denomination can confuse the two. While both are similar in some ways they…

It was the unleashing of the protestant reformation that brought about the religious, political, and societal revolution, with the aim of reforming the Catholic church’s practices and doctrines, which fundamentally changed the face of Western civilization.

Luther believes this to be a lie, where in fact it is the exact opposite, the temporal state has authority over the spiritual. He supports this by claiming all Christians are spiritually equal, destroying the hierarchy within the Catholic church. He also uses scripture, specifically Romans 13:1-4 which states, “Submit yourselves to every ordinance of…
