Reformation Day is a Protestant Christian religious holiday celebrated on October 31, alongside
All Hallows' Eve (Halloween) during the triduum of Allhallowtide, in remembrance of the onset
of the Reformation.
Traditionally, 31 October 1517 is widely held to be the day German monk Martin Luther nailed
his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Electorate of Saxony
in the Holy Roman Empire...
Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.
Martin Luther was a flake of the highest order. But by breaking the hegemony of the RCC he did aid the progression of free thought; which of course led to atheism as a inevitable consequence. So rack him for that.

Find me one. I don't doubt that there were people who realized that what the church was spinning was bullshit. The difference is that after the Reformation it became increasingly more difficult to exercise ecclesiastical control over the populace.

Hard-pressed to find anyone in the 16th century that didn't appear 'flaky'. He articulated the same difference between spiritual and real-world behaviour that Marx identified. Stuck his boot so far up the Jews and the Catholics arses he got trench-foot.
Great Grandpa Dinsdale, demonstrating the original "2 in the pink, one in the stink" aka "6 pack grip". The far less practical "pinky grip" is a 20th century thing.

Historical inaccuracy. No way can Dins descend from that. I do not see a bowl of good bud, a rack of beer close by along with a pack of Marlboros. Only similarity I see it the hand wave summoning the wench of the night to his quarters, which is a lot more than most of you keyboard beat offs will ever see.

Longley has one of the shortest bios in Wikipedia of the Archbishops in that timeframe as well as a relatively short tenure. Not sure how he would rate as "possibly the most influential one in history". At least according to
