500 Year-Anniversary of Martin Luther's Reformation

Guest: Brad Gregory, PhD, Professor, History, University of Notre Dame, Author, “Rebel in the Ranks: Martin Luther, the Reformation, and the Conflicts That Continue to Shape Our World” The world might be a different place were it not for the spiritual crisis of one Catholic friar in the early 1500s. Martin Luther was hardly looking to fracture the Catholic Church when he published his Ninety-Five Theses, but once his ideas gained publicity, the Reformation became a movement Martin Luther could not control, and he would, most likely, be appalled by where it led.
