The prevailing view in the most developed countries of the West is that the figures of the Reformation, the Protestant leaders Calvin and Luther, are heroes who defied the dark Catholics. Today, any schoolboy will talk about the atrocities of the Catholic Inquisition. It's true, Catholics burned heretics and witches at the stake. Yes, only Protestants burned them in dozens of times more, but for some reason they are silent about it. In 1540-1564 Calvin, expelling Catholics from Geneva, became the de facto dictator of the city. This figure said that people should be kept in poverty, otherwise it will cease to be submissive to the will of God. You could not sing secular songs, dance, you can eat, and even more so, you can walk in light suits. Doubts in the Christian truth, as Calvin interpreted it, were punishable by burning at the stake.
But the fires of the Inquisition seemed to Calvin too mild punishment: the heretic died very quickly. It is with him in fashion includes a new way of execution - burning disagreeable on raw firewood. So they executed the scientist Miguel Servet. Already in the nineteenth century, Friedrich Engels wrote: "Protestants overpopulated Catholics in pursuit of free study of nature. Calvin burned Servetus, when he came close to opening the blood circulation, and at the same time made him fry alive for two hours; the Inquisition, at least, was content with the fact that it was simply the burning of Giordano Bruno. "
Calvin overturned Martin Luther who publicly burned in the courtyard of the University of Wittenberg a papal bull about his excommunication from the church. The bonfires burned behind the bull, before which the horrors of the Inquisition faded. Luther was literally possessed by the devil: he saw his intrigues everywhere. In his writings describes how he was constantly visited by hordes of demons, then the lord of darkness sent flies on him. One day, Luther was so carried away by the theological dispute with the devil, which he launched into that inkwell. In addition to the devil, the main enemies of mankind Luther believed Jews and reason and taught: "He who wants to be a Christian, must tear his eyes out of his mind!". "This fool wants to turn all science astronomy; but Scripture tells us that Jesus ordered the Sun to stand, not the Earth, "the reformer was indignant with the teachings of Copernicus and came to the conclusion that" the mind is the greatest enemy of faith. " What to do? Luther finds the way out: "The mind must be deceived, blinded and destroyed."
The Führer's morals are natural!
In addition to the devil, Luther considered Jews and reason to be the main enemies of mankind. First, Luther began to follow the Jews, ... the methods of struggle were not new either: "First you need to set fire to their synagogues or schools and bury everything that does not burn in the mud so that no one else sees any stone or ash left from them . This must be done to the glory of our Lord and the whole Christian world, "Luther preached. "Secondly, I advise you to destroy and equalize their homes. For in them they pursue the same goals as in the synagogues. "
As for the witches, Luther's attitude was unequivocal. The enchantress Luther called "evil fucking whores" and hated it to the depths of his soul. "No compassion - they must be immediately put to death. I would burn them all myself willingly, "exclaimed the Father of the Reformation. Luther constantly insisted on identifying witches and burning them alive. "Wizards and witches," he wrote in 1522, "are evil devilish offspring, they steal milk, bring on bad weather, inflict damage upon people, take away the power in their feet, torture children in cradles, force people to love and coit, and not to have a number intrigues of the devil. " It is not surprising that in witch trials in Germany, men, women and children were condemned to death much more than in any other country. After the death of Luther in the Protestant regions of Germany, witch-hunters were mad even more than in the lands that remained Catholic. Historian Johann Scherr wrote: "Every city, every place, every prelacy, every noble estate in Germany lit fires." In the words of the repentant von Spee, "everywhere in the whole country smoke is rising from fires, which obscures the light." And here it does not even matter which part of Germany divided into two warring camps is being discussed - witches were everywhere "cozy". Some reformers revered the hunt for witches as a holy duty before God. Poisoning with ergot helped the "justice" to triumph, as not all witches had to wrest recognition with torture, many admitted themselves. To distraught hunters, distraught victims came to the embrace - after all, they ate everything alone. Coming to the grotesque - in 1636 in Koenigsberg appeared a man who claimed that he was God the Father, and that God the Son, as well as the devil acknowledged his authority, and the angels singing hymns to him. The reaction was predictable - for such words he was first pulled out of the tongue, then beheaded, and the corpse was burnt. After all, Luther taught that all the madness of the devil. Before he died, the patient sobbed, but not over his fate, but over the sins of all mankind, who decided to exterminate God the Father. In the Lutheran Elections in Saxony and the Palatinate, as well as in the Principality of Württemberg in 1567-1582. there were own laws on witches, much more severe than the corresponding articles of the code of Emperor Charles V - "Carolina". Witchcraft in the Protestant part of the Christian world flared up with power, which was unprecedented even for Catholics. Protestants have made hatred of witchcraft an integral part of the dogma, and historians still argue who sent more women to the fire: Catholic or Protestant judges.
The historian F. Donovan wrote: "If we mark on the map a point every established case of burning a witch, then the greatest concentration of points will be in the zone where the borders of France, Germany and Switzerland. Basel, Lyon, Geneva, Nuremberg and nearby cities would hide under a lot of these points. Solid spots from the points would have formed in Switzerland, from the Rhine to Amsterdam, and also in the south of France, would have sprayed England, Scotland and the Scandinavian countries. It should be noted that, at least during the last century, witch hunts, zones of the greatest concentration of points were centers of Protestantism. "

Why this information when modern neo-Protestants say that they are indifferent to Luther and Calvin?
The fact is that these people formulated the Christian tradition as
- Only the Scriptures - We see that besides this they are guilty of terrible sins and their followers too. We can not be sure today that modern neo-Protestants differ from their spiritual and ideological predecessors!
Matthew 7:15-20 New King James Version (NKJV)
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
You may not understand and criticize Orthodoxy, but you will not find any Orthodox canonical preacher who was as bad as reformers ...
Amen!
