Just some minor cleaning

I moved the line about his passing and his latter years in poor health to the very end of the article. It seems more logical there than its original spot; closing a paragraph that did not relate to his date of death. Also edited the wording somewhat. No actual content has been changed, though in the beginning of the article I did add the month and day of his birth and death, rather than leave it at simply the years. Hope this is acceptable :) Jros83 20:39, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

As a side note, I question the "leader of the German Reformation" line. To me, it would seem more apropriate to indicate his status as one of the early movers of the Protestant Reformation as a whole, considering he had a major impact outside Germany as well as internally. It would seem to me that that would be of more import than his specific role in Germany. However I certainly will not go ahead and make such a change without a general consenus. I may after all be missing a good point on why it should not be changed, and I would love to be better informed :) Jros83 20:44, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

Luther and homosexuality

Where's the best place to mention Luther's stance on homosexuality?

• "The vice of the Sodomites is an unparalleled enormity. It departs from the natural passion and desire, planted into nature by God, according to which the male has a passionate desire for the female. Sodomy craves what is entirely contrary to nature. Whence comes this perversion? Without a doubt it comes from the devil. After a man has once turned aside from the fear of God, the devil puts such great pressure upon his nature that he extinguishes the fire of natural desire and stirs up another, which is contrary to nature." [1]

Here, or at Homosexuality? --Ed Poor ^Talk 20:32, 11 August 2007 (EDT)

It might be good to start showing some of Luther's beliefs. He was certainly a prolific writer. It could be a good time for overall cleanup as well. Currently, we don't have any subsections, and that makes the work as a whole more difficult to read and follow. Learn together 01:40, 12 August 2007 (EDT)

Rumor or truth

We need to deal with the controversy over whether Luther took refuge from a thunderstorm - or whether he "nailed" the 95 Theses to the church door. An edit war is no way to deal with this. --Ed Poor ^Talk 22:27, 1 October 2007 (EDT)

Controversy? Eeek! MattM 22:31, 1 October 2007 (EDT)

References Section is a disgrace

If you can't understand why the reference section is a pathetic joke, I'm not going to waste m time trying to tell you.

Then don't tell us; just help us make it better. Learn together 17:02, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

Anti-Semitism

Why was this reverted? BHarlan 12:03, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
