(1/9) Since I have read the last few days some discussions:
I always like to remember that the #Catholic Church has damaged my country for the last 1200 years at a stretch. For me, as a #German, Martin #Luther and Lutheran #Protestantism is a piece of #liberation for my country.
(2/9) Why I don't like the Catholic Church that much in return:

I. Walk to Canossa, destruction of earliest German central state efforts
II. Beheading of Conradin, destruction of German imperial nobility
III. Delegitimization of the Teutonic Knights and their eastern settlement
(3/9)
IV. Trade in indulgences: monetary gain in northern Europe to finance the cultural flowering of Italy
V. Catholic Italianization of the southern German-speaking area, pushing back the German-speaking area from Verona to the Salurn Pass
