All Hallow’s Eve
was the night before Martin Luther
posted the condemnation
of Indulgences on the door
of the Catholic Church.
The practice of paying for sins
that had not happened yet
was his greatest despair.
He loved his God and merely wanted a Reformation
of the church he followed.
Yet like all great rebels
he knew
something had to be done.
So, instead of Reforming the Catholic Church
he ended up
helping Protestant churches to form.
That was one trick
he did not foresee.
