What are you talking about? Martin Luther left the Catholic Church in a time of corruption, when catholic leaders were using the church's money to further their own family's legacy, at a time that even the priests kept concubines. Martin Luther left to create a more stringent life closer to God. A simpler life, where the rules dictated actions and people had fewer choices. Yes I agree at that time in Catholic history Martin Luther was correct. But not for the reason you state. Here Pope Benedict strives to bring his people in line with the word of God. To guide us in our actions when it comes to using vehicles that did not exist when Jesus lived. I am sure that God approves of his message. Here Pope Benedict only seeks to support the gospel with modern day examples. Martin Luther dealt the symbolic blow that began the Reformation when he nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church. That document contained an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials. But Luther himself saw the Reformation as something far more important than a revolt against ecclesiastical abuses. He believed it was a fight for the gospel. Luther even stated that he would have happily yielded every point of dispute to the Pope, if only the Pope had affirmed the gospel. And at the heart of the gospel, in Luther's estimation, was the doctrine of justification by faith--the teaching that Christ's own righteousness is imputed to those who believe, and on that ground alone, they are accepted by God.
