The Calvinist International is at it again. Here it is:
'Instead, “Lutheran” eventually became the trademark of the Gnesio-Lutherans who made their particular emphasis on the real presence in the elements the sin qua non of Lutheran identity. It really had not figured as such in Luther’s most foundational works, and its unwarranted primacy did in part serve to give Lutheranism a sort of clerical and disciplinarian character which was quite inimical to its original theology.'

That’s about the stupidest thing I’ve read on Luther in quite a long time. The Confession Concerning the Lord’s Supper? Not foundational. The Large and Small Catechisms? Fluff.
I mean, come on - the man who said ‘The Sacrament is the Gospel’, and who refused a union at Marburg over the force of is - as in, this is my body etc. - is not recognizable in this farce.
Again and again let us say, Leave Martin out of your insanity.
