Luther naile his 95 Thesis to the door of the Wittenburg chuch, thus launching the great Reformation of Protestantism. Much of what the Reformers fought and died for is being tossed out the window by voices in New Evangelicalism calling for ecumenism with Rome. In honor of Luther we've updated his complaints to reflect the de-evolution of the Church of Rome Today. She (The Mother Church) at vatican no longer has the power to torture and kill her opponents,so we can safely lay it all out here. Would welcome comments of those who think it needs to be tweaked- better examples of lies can replace any of these,pls visit at
