I am of the opinion that the renaissance was good for the proliferation of the printed word. Now, there is so much to read that one can literally be ever learning and never come to the truth.
Take my coworker; he is some what of a hobbyist and knows quite a bit about other religions. He was unaware the LDS church does not practice polygamy, but had accepted what is so commonly misunderstood.
Martin Luther, according to the movie, disagreed that the Holy Roman Church was the end all place for salvation. I believe he misunderstood however, that “upon this rock” didn’t mean Peter was the rock or foundation of Christ's church. I assume that this is because it is what scholars, even today continue to, accept.
