      I think what killed me, in Durant's summary of his theology, was Luther's dismissal of Reason and elevation of Faith juxtaposed w/ his embrace of consubstantiation because transubstantiation was JUST TOO CRAZY im all for wild inconsistency but im a shiposter not a theologian

      and of course the downstream splintering of protestantism was entirely predicable but this seems to have never occurred to him and he was Mad when it happened >"Ppl should interpret the scripture as they see fit" >"Ok I interpret it differently than you" >webcomic name panel 3

      once more I have no agenda here im working through Durant's volume on the Reformation and im just struck by how lame luther seems compared to contemporaries I guess one maybe had to be kind of a meathead to see a split with the church through like this. Like,

      say, Erasmus. I love Erasmus as portrayed. Moriae Encomium: ahhhh thats the good shit. Deeply adroit, clever, funny, self-deprecating, didnt touch off a series of wars that devastated europe for a hundred years

          but, being too smart and funny as erasmus was maybe makes one unpredisposed to just boringly beat a drum calling for revolution an iota of self-doubt, and a basically playful spirit too much hermes and socrates, not enough apollo and plato

          additional context, I was raised Catholic in a place where your religion was Catholic or Lutheran and everyone was of German or Scandinavian descent what this means practically is less "I imbibed a negative view of Luther" than my childhood was something like "Luther whomst?"

          i thought about him a bit in AP European History when I was fifteen but otherwise really haven't much attended to the Reformation and listening to a narration of it now in my mid 30s is pretty interesting
