"In [Luther's] day, as Catholic historians all agree, the Popes of the
Renaissance were secularized, flippant, frivolous, sensual, magnificent and
unscrupulous... Politics were emancipated from any concern for the faith to
such a degree that the Most Christian King of France and His Holiness the Pope
did not disdain a military alliance with the Sultan against the Holy
Roman Empire. Luther changed all this. Religion became again a
dominant factor even in politics for another century and a half. Men cared enough
for the faith to die for it and to kill for it. If there is any sense remaining
of Christian civilization in the West, this man Luther in no small measure
deserves the credit.”[1]
