Here I find myself on this cold, dark & dreary day, talking to none other than the man who started this whole thing…Mr. Martin Luther!” Anchor: “Oh, wow, so you are actually conversing with THE Martin Luther? Tell us what he has been doing today while protesting & what exactly is his motivation for protesting this seemingly holy organization of the Roman Catholic Church.” “Mr. Luther, what is your motivation for protesting & how have you been protesting?” Martin Luther: “Greetings & God bless to everyone listening. Due to the corruption within the Roman Catholic Church & the wrongful leading of the innocent to the depths of hell, I find myself nailing my 95 Theses on the door here at the local church in Wittenberg, Germany.” “And what response has the Church given you, Mr. Luther?”…….“Oh, my goodness, Anchor _______, we have some angry people shouting at Mr. Luther”…..”Wait….. I think my sound has been disconnected….hello?” BREAKING NEWS: The Counter Reformation is beginning!
