But If You Want To Be Saved-and Remember That There's Another Life After This One-you Must Accept Correction.

Had I Wished I Might Have Started A Conflagration At Worms. But While I Sat Still And Drank Beer With Philip And Amsdorf, God Dealt The Papacy A Mighty Blow.

Mary Was Not Only Holy. She Was Also The Mother Of The Lord.
