    just a minor correction: if i remember correctly, at the time, the appropriate response to being excommunicated was not burning at the stake, it was for the person to be formerly outlawed by the emperor, stripping them of all rights, privileges and property. basically, at this point, anyone could have killed the man in the street, taken up residence in his home, claim ownership of all his belongings and all that without needing to fear punishment. this obviously would have been equivalent to a death sentence in most cases as an angry mob would quickly show up to do what angry mobs do with heretics who are not protected by the law, but in luthers case things were obviously different.

However, for ease of application, and maximum destruction, quite wet would be better because then you could just smear it all over the place. No nails required. Just gloves, and I guess a bucket. But really, gloves and a bucket are required at any stage of feces handling and transport. Sure, these days we've got latex or vinyl gloves, Ziploc baggies, and proper face coverings. Even our machine made nails are going to be driven in more smoothly than the nails of the past. But for your average 16th century monk, gloves and a bucket. At the very least.

    Something that is always missing about Martin Luther's story is his strong facination in the Ethiopian Orthodox church and the important work of cleric Michael of Ethiopia to the reformation. He saw the church of Ethiopia as the dream that fully embodied the gospel message more robustly and faithfully. The influence of the Ethiopian church should be highlighted as it plays such a critical role in the reformation.

    Indulgences were not get-out-of-jail-free cards they were a way for people to buy their relatives out of hell or themselves for sinning. And when Martin Luther found this out he knew that it was wrong according to the Bible. He was translating the Bible into German. He realized that we are saved by faith by grace it's a free gift from God. For the Forgiveness of your sins through Christ Jesus. Paying to get out of hell does not work.

    It really kinda was a get out of jail card in a society where being excommunicated often meant ACTUAL death (and then an eternity in hell, or a stint in purgatory.) It was used - maybe initially that was the ONLY way it was supposed to be used - to buy forgiveness from God through the church to get out of situations whose consequences were both temporal and spiritual. It's of a species with the morality car wash a different pope offered for anyone who went to conquer the holy land in the Crusades.

Leo X started life as Giovanni de' Medici - he was the second son of Lorenzo de' Medici. So even if he had not been Pope, he was a pretty Big Deal Economically and Politically at the time.

    Well done, as always, thanks! One minor quibble - Luther did not ‘out of nowhere’ initiate the reformation. The revolution, if you will, against the corrupt Christian hierarchy had been building for centuries prior to Luther - both ordinary folks and a number of prominent leaders, such as Pierre Valdo, John Wyclif and Jan Hus, had previously inveighed strongly against the unscrupulous church elite. Luther published his 95 theses into highly fertile soil, i.e., the times were ripe for reform, and the reformation quickly bloomed, cementing his place in history. Luther’s success reminds me of the so called Reagan Revolution, which came about because Reagan spoke eloquently to pre-existing mass issues and concerns - he did not create these, rather, he rode those waves, and rather adroitly!
