Christian leaders of the past, and various other religious practices and
ceremonies which were accretional to the ordinances of the Gospel.
Although at that period the power of the Pope was so great and he was
regarded with such awe that the kings of Europe shook and trembled before
him, and he held control of all Europe's major concerns in the grasp of
his might--nevertheless because Luther's position as regards the freedom of
religious leaders to marry, the abstention from worshiping and making
prostrations before images and representations hung in the churches, and
the abrogation of ceremonials which had been added on to the Gospel, was
demonstrably correct, and because the proper means were adopted for the

Faith and should bend all their efforts to this end, it is certain that
His Divine light would envelop the whole earth.

A few, who are unaware of the reality below the surface of events, who
cannot feel the pulse of the world under their fingers, who do not know
what a massive dose of truth must be administered to heal this chronic old
disease of falsehood, believe that the Faith can only be spread by the
sword, and bolster their opinion with the Tradition, "I a
