Religio
instrumentum regni: Luther this is the German Christianism
All, or at last I
think, we know that exists the Roman Christianism and other European
confession, all Christian but with rites and use very different, all is born
with Reform of Luther in German, and this conception and divisions between
confessions is present by 1517; but Luther, who was against sale of forgive or
indulgence, but with something very different by official version, because same
Luther then days before affixing his rule for Protestantism was preaching for
indulgence and his sale. Anyway Luther was certainly the first founder of a
national religion, certainly Christian but above all German; at his book around
Roman papacy, he mentioned and he
treats above all economical question and he considers that German people must
pay papacy and some step of this book is very important for this theory: “One
says that Evil will find treasure on the
earth, but I think that papacy have found ready it… and if German principles
and nobility don’t make soon something the German will become desert” ,a he
mentions an adage: “Steal money by German”, this concept is important because
show that Luther over that Christianism he thought also to German that in this
book, and continued attack to Rome, seen as centre of sin and avidity;
therefore Luther searched some motive for to long religion by Rome bur above
all the German, and he building the first German Christianism, and after that
of Great Britain, with Anglicanism, these are national religion, by same
religion but with different exceptions; Luther was the first that given very
strike no alone to Rome but to German and given a religious connotation to
German, Luther built not alone Protestantism but the German religion, concept
that he reinforced with Around laic authority,
book that hold laic power of German nobility, but with motives above all
political, he want that German is conscious that now, also for his Reform, cans
become a nation, also for his religion; he says around to obedience to civil
authority, and he take by Holy Bible for to reinforce, with biblical motive,
the nearness to authority with Moses and other, because man has need of an
authority that manages life of every citizen; this is declaration for the
foundation of a national state, the German, that now must be German and no
certainly a Roman dependence. But more evident is political motive during the
read of Pact between alliance and two
group of farmers, where Luther advice and almost orders that farmers stand
under authority and every damn that is made they must repair soon and obey to
principles and king; it is motive for consider that Luther would that order in
Germany was a principal motive for a building of German state, but all for
political order, because in confusion and disorder is impossible creation of a
state and government, and enemies of Germany for this motive can enter in
Germany and destroy the Reform, a nation that is political disordered is easy
motive for to conquer. Finally some step of Gospel is very adapt for this
think, Luther reports very famous step of Luke(20,25): “You must give to Caesar
that is Caesar’s and to God that is God’s”, with this step he justifies state
of Germany, and again in the book “Pact, above all mentioned, he repeated but
with more strong and clearness, at 13 step: “So that is kept with strong the
peace, the calm and concordances in Holy Empire… principles must work watch and
attention for much seditious”, it is declaration for to reinforce authority.
