On praise of Luther

During the most stimulating discussion in the last “Theology on
Tap” we have discussed ecclesiology among other things based on
the lecture by Gordon Isaac “`Luther’s View of the
Church`_”. Luther’s view of the Church were the most
interesting for me, because I have first presented in compelling
manner opinions of non-evangelical ecclesiology.

There was one thing I have not managed to express on Tuesday. G.
K. Chesterton in his less known book “`Chaucer`_”


----------

Religio -- Middle Age managed to include into a rather Christian
culture whole world, from the Knight all the way down to the
Miller, but also from truly religious and pious all the way down
to venal and other sinners. We have lost (during the
Reformation?, Enlightenment?) this semi-Christian religio and
replaced it with nationalism (?). Not a good bargain.
