luther was disgusted to see how the roman catholic church had allowed itself to be seduced by worldly cravings and luxury. back in germany he printed pamphlets that depicted the pope as a greedy monster and criticized church abuses. look of existing luther was angry about a system that was what i'm very well a system that had made religion and economics compatible salvation could be bought and as it was ordered today we can still see how much religious terminology has entered the economic sector but today we are no longer with the mouse sins we redeem alone news when we take out a loan the german word for creditor is believe the glaive begun and the german word full disclosure is often revelation economics very clearly picked up on religious terminology sucked. in britain back martin luther reinvented himself as a reformer aided and abetted by the artist who cuts cannot. his portraits of luther were intended to make the church reformer better known. luther was appointed professor of theology at the university of britain back which had been founded in fifteen zero two. in fifteen seven
