Worthwhile movie about the Christian Reformation
While not an anti-Roman Catholic movie, it gives some of the reasons for the Christian Reformation that Martin Luther began almost 500 years ago, and exposes the corruption that exited in the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. The movie made me aware that corruption can exist in any great institution today, even the modern Christian church.Mostly historically accurate, Luther brought the reformed church to the average person in their own language, and for the first time allowed the "non-elite" to read Holy Scriptures. It shows what happens when any great institution, as the Roman Catholic Church allows corruption into its midst, to be denied or worse yet, covered up.
