This first real week of autumn has been one of anniversaries. First, we marked 500 years since an academic friar by the name of Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg. Amongst other questions, Luther asked: "Why does the Pope, whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build the basilica of Saint Peter with the money of poor believers rather than with his own money?" This extraordinary document triggered a series of momentous events that we now call the Reformation – which changed us utterly. Mostly, in my view, for the better. |
