As for the historical record, I suppose that the Vatican may have it? Can't think of any institution more likely to have it, as it was aimed at them. Luther was a priest at the time. Anyway, no doubt that he wrote the 95 theses, and of its result.

Husband, BTW, was brought up Lutheran. He says he understands the story to be accurate.

As to contemporary sources, well, guess I could look, but although I speak German, I'd have to actually look at the darn thing to see if it actually says that, and would you trust me?

<< Not that Luther wasn't an important figure, or that the evil (indulgences) he had been preaching against for some time weren't a true cancer on the Catholic church. But as to the nailing on the church door, well, where's the contemporary record? >>

Those indulgences never went away. In fact, according to the Pope, you will soon be able to get time off for quitting smoking or drinking for a day.

Here's the rules.
