Maximillian I is dead. Who will be elected the new King of the Romans aka the Emperor of the Holy Roman Emperor? This time we discuss the Hapsburgs, revisit Maximillian, and discuss the contenders for ultimate prize. At the end, there is one winner. But of course, elections have consequences.
It is January 12, 1519, and Holy Roman Emperor, Maximillian I has died. The Luther question is put on the back burner while the powers that be jockeys for position to select a new emperor. Before we delve into the selection and election of a new emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE), this episode will be a lightning round of information about the Holy Roman Empire itself. It encapsulates information presented way back in episodes 3,4,5, & 6. Happy Listening!
After the blow-up in Augsburg and Luther's refusal to recant, and his subsequent escape, Cardinal Cajetan and Pope Leo X are demanding Luther be sent to Rome. Frederick the Wise has a problem on his hands, how to solve the "Luther Affair?"
Enter stage left a new character at the dawn of the Reformation: the new professor of Greek at the University in Wittenberg: Philipp Schwartzerdt aka Philipp Melanchthon.
Martin Luther is "invited" to a special meeting in Augsburg in October of 1518 with Cardinal Cajetan. Can you say, recant?
We pick up the story after the Heidelberg Disputation, and discuss the relationship between Martin Luther and Johannes Eck, and Eck's criticism of the 95 Theses. Cardinal Cajetan enters the narrative, as we set the scene for Luther's upcoming trial at Augsburg. Happy Listening!
Wow: Finally a new episode! In this episode, we explore Martin Luther's Sermon on Indulgences and Grace and the Heidelberg Disputation. Happy Listening!
This is a rather eclectic episode, digging into literacy and communication methods in the late Middle Ages, Renaissance and Reformation. The move from Latin to writing in the vernacular. We'll also discuss the tortured history of heretics, especially Jan Hus, and whether reformers like Martin Luther had a reason to be a little fearful. Happy Listening!
Leo X, Archbishop of Mainz and Johann Tetzel respond to the 95 Theses
Based on where we are in the story of Martin Luther, this is essentially the beginning of "Book II" in the telling of The Life nd Times of Martin Luther. In this episode we meet three friends of Martin Luther: Johannas Lang, Georg Spalatin and Christopher Scheurl. Each likely had an impact on the how and where the word of the 95 Theses would spread.
Luther posts the 95 Theses! In the program up to date, we have delved into Martin Luther’s life up to now. We have looked at the history of the Holy Roman Empire, and also a history of the Papacy; each of those topics until this moment on October 31, 1517. Now the 95 Theses are in play, and the reaction to it will ignite the Reformation movement.

well I've got my hot cuppa joe. so let's jump straight in. here's a 30 000 ft view of the Catholic church. it's a greedy murdering kiddy fiddling power hungry cunt dripping in gold and blood.
dear Catholic church. your a prize cunt. yours sincerely God.
so Jesus phoned thru a recipe. and we all killed each other fighting over the oven. or how to chop the onions. or who could turn the page on the recipe book. at no point did anyone actually get to eat it. with everyone twiddling the knobs on the oven it caught fire and spread to the house. and all we can do is toast marshmallows on the embers . now who's wielding the holy marshmallow bag. you should probably get on to that.
here's a comment. please stop asking me too comment. 11 episodes in and still none the wiser.
