Funny,  throughout all my denominational journey, all the way to indi Cath 
priesthood  and back again to TEC, I never once, in all those year, tasted 
of  Lutheranism.  Presbyterian (which I became for three years), Methodist,  
Congregational (UCC, I suppose), and yes, TEC, ... not once did I even feel  
the need to taste of Luther's world.  I wonder, in my post-churchianity  
mindset, if I missed out on something,  somehow.>>>>>>
 
There's a lot there.  Trouble is that Luther's outlook on a wide  variety of
subjects changes as he gets older.  You can thus have people  quote
what sounds like very odd views for a Lutheran.  His high church  views
on the Virgin Mary early on come to mind.
 
He was no dumbell, and well trained by the Augustinians.
