| Luther on the Pope

Sounds like you've been reading Luther. In his Table Talk, Luther said it this way: Quote: |
If the Pope will throw away his crown and descend from his throne and primacy, and confess that he has erred, has destroyed the church, and poured out innocent blood, then we wil recieve him into the church, otherwise, we must regard him as Antichrist.
| And then he said, Quote: |
This one thing preserve when I am dead, namely, hatred towards the Roman Pontiff.
