Martin Luther's "Reformation": Some Myths, Confusions, and Lies (Ryan Grant) | Ep. 61

In this episode we interview Ryan Grant, a Latinist and founder of Mediatrix Press, about Martin Luther, specifically some of the myths, confusions, and even lies that have been built up around him to justify the protestant "reformation." Among many other great works it has revived, Mediatrix Press produced the first English translation in 500 years of St. John Fisher's "Against Luther's Babylonian Captivity." Fisher was among the only bishops to remain faithful to the Church in England, and was later martyred for his defense of the Catholic Faith. Joshua Charles wrote the Foreword to this volume.
