Luther’s Body
This goes beyond bizarre. The Roman Catholic Church has its shroud and now the Lutherans have Luther’s corpse. OK, I do believe that many of the articles at CRN deal with gnat size issues while in fairness they also deal with substantive issues as well. But in this article they link to an article that claims the exhumed body of Martin Luther had “rolled over†in his grave over the centuries. And the contention is that Luther rolled over in his grave over the liberal departure of the Lutheran church from Luther’s original teachings.
You know we always thought they had an obsession with dead theologians but now we know those same corpses are listening and reacting to the plight of the church. This article was categorized under “satire†so I can assume it was tongue in cheek, partially. But I think that maybe the reason that Luther rolled over in his grave was due to the kindness that the church today has shown to Jews.
See, satire too.

The article is obviously a satire.
Check out these sites for a papist perspective.
This is what we shpuld be concerned with.

Yea, I saw they labelled it as satire. I thought my Jewish reference was humorous also.
