Create TV (PBS)--Travelscope: Following the Reformation Trail in Switzerland and Germany - Part 1 7/12 10:30PM Joseph Rosendo's Travelscope Following the Reformation Trail in Switzerland and Germany - Part 1 Quote: Part 1 of 2. A tour of Germany and Switzerland spotlights the Protestant Reformation, which began with Martin Luther's "The Ninety-Five Theses" in 1517. The 500th Anniversary of this event is coming up next year. I saw Part 2 of this series earlier this year. It's the American public school version of the Protestant Revolt and the TV host doesn't at all attempt to accurately explain the Catholic view on this matter. But the host mentions some people and places I hadn't heard of before; still worth watching although get ready to be offended. Quote: Joseph follows in the path of the reformers as he travels through Switzerland and Germany and commemorates the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. “Out of love and concern for the truth and with the object of eliciting it…” So begins Martin Luther’s 95 theses hung on the door of Wittenberg’s Castle Church on October 31, 1517. Thanks to the printing press, within two months his 95 Theses spread throughout Europe where they found fertile ground in Switzerland in Zurich priest Ulrich Zwingli and elsewhere and grew into the Protestant Reformation, which would shape the western world’s religious and cultural future. Join Joseph as he follows this historical trail. http://travelscope.net/episodes/view...and_germany_1/ __________________ "It's a free country; you can say whatever you want." --Old American Saying (U.S. Postal Service stamp-- from 1977 Americana series which extols freedom of speech and features a Speaker's Stand decorated with an American Flag shield.)

Re: Create TV (PBS)--Travelscope: Following the Reformation Trail in Switzerland and Germany - Part 1 7/12 10:30PM Publicizing the reformation actually is a good thing. Then we have a chance to point out that Christianity started around 33 A.D. and until Martin Luther (Catholic) had a meltdown in 1517 ALL Christians were Catholic, the Bible which was canonized around 400, is a catholic Book, etc. At least, if people watch this stuff, they will have their eyes opened in the sense of history. To study history is to cease to be protestant.
