CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther (16260 words) |
 | Leader of the great religious revolt of the sixteenth century in Germany; born at Eisleben, 10 November, 1483; died at Eisleben, 18 February, 1546. |
| Luther himself states that it was a pilgrimage in fulfilment of a vow to make a general confession in the Eternal City. |
| Luther, who returned to Wittenberg in a state of great irritation at the outcome of the Diet, was now invoked to prepare the public mind for the position assumed by the princes, which at first blush looked suspiciously like downright rebellion. |
