No. He was on the wrong track. For some reason you two seem to think I care about Martin Luther. I do not. I have no interest in defending Martin Luther. I mentioned MARTIN LUTHER KING.
And while what you quoted here might be interesting in some other context, Nietzsche is not saying anything that exculpates the Catholic Church from the Inquisition.
You are Son of Richard are way off track here. The point of the thread is how to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. The Catholic Church in the Renaissance was not doing this, no matter what a poopyhead Martin Luther was.
The Liberation Theologists in the 20th century included some Catholic priest who actually did follow in the footsteps of Jesus which is why I mentioned them along with Dr. King.

Yes, it is a nice soft version of the symbol for Jesus willingly letting people arrest him and nail him to wood where he supposedly died. A whitewashed image or an honest one. I cant see the difference, but all really rather tangential.
