This article made me think of something I read from Luther recently:
"In short, without this article of faith, that we are justified and saved only through Christ and that apart from Him everything is damned, there is no defense or restraint, no boundary or limit for every heresy and error, every sect and faction, with everyone thinking up and broadcasting some peculiar idea of his own. This was the situation under the pope. No monk could have a dream without dragging it into the pulpit and making it into a special act of worship. No lie was too shameful to be accepted so long as someone had the audacity to take it into the pulpit...As we have said, there is no bacchanal or jackass too coarse to gain a great following of believers if he can just think up something new."
Luther's Works, vol. 21: The Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5:13) pg. 59ff
There are several other people and circumstance that I thought of when reading this article as well.
