CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
About this time he issued in Latin and German his broadside, "Against the falsely called spiritual state of Pope and Bishops", in which his vocabulary of vituperation attains a height equalled only by himself, and then on but one or two occasions. Could he have deferred his first Mass on account of the morbid scrupulosity, which played such a part in the later periods of his monastic life? There is no reason to doubt that Luther's monastic career thus far was exemplary, tranquil, happy; his heart at rest, his mind undisturbed, his soul at peace
Neither is it an attempt to make North Vietnam or the National Liberation Front paragons of virtue, nor to overlook the role they must play in the successful resolution of the problem.

Segregation, to use the terminology of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, substitutes an "I it" relationship for an "I thou" relationship and ends up relegating persons to the status of things
Most of you have no idea what Martin Luther King actually did
He was hated, yes, by the most overtly racist whites but also disdained by broad swathes of so-called moderates and even liberals because his nonviolent yet confrontational quest for justice made dramatically evident the fundamental racist lie at the core of American democracy. The Poor People's Campaign was part of his vision, a vital one by his own account, and just as no one should disregard or diminish his real accomplishments in regards to institutional racism, no one should disregard or diminish his very real commitment to peace and general economic justice either
On the other hand, The Democrat party has changed so much since JFK that many have left the party and joined the Republican party or just consider themselves independent. Barry Goldwater, who ran for President against Johnson in 1964, ignore the fact that Goldwater wanted to force the Democrats in the South to stop passing discriminatory laws and thus end the need to continuously enact federal civil rights legislation
