<p><font size="2" color="#006600"> Luther's "Thurmerlebenis"<br />
Luther's theses against Indulgences. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" color="#006600">Luther's attack upon the abuses
within the Church soon found widespread favour. Although he is still
widely believed to have been a reformer, a reform of the church
does not appear to have been his intention and it certainly was
not what he achieved. He appears to have made, in fact, no attempt
to seek reform of the church. Maybe I've been reading from the wrong
sources but all of his efforts seem to have been directed solely
to challenging and undermining the authority of the church.<br />
</font></p>
<p><font size="2" color="#006600">The Church, by its failure to deal
with practices which were open to corruption, had left itself vulnerable
to such an attack and, had his campaign been directed toward the
Church leaders rather than the public, Luther's rejection of Indulgences
could certainly have been construed as an attempt to push for reform
but his subsequent actions betray a commonplace resentment of authority
and an unconscious agenda of self-aggrandisement by rebellion against
that authority soon becomes evident. He rejects the Mass, Transubstantiation,
vows of chastity, pilgrimages, fasts, the Sacraments, the powers
of the priesthood, and the jurisdiction and supremacy of the Pope.
</font></p>
<p><font size="2" color="#006600">At the core of it all or rather
in an attempt at justification of it all, he premised the doctrine
of<i> individual judgment</i> upon which the so-called reformed
church is based - a sort of DIY morality - the idea being firstly
an implicit denial of the value of the structures of the Roman Catholic
Church and of its traditions and continuity since the days of Christ,
together with the establishment of the written word as the only
valid source of Christian teaching i.e. that any man of "faith"
can properly interpret the scriptures for himself. The obvious contradiction
was that, like Henry Ford, who offered to supply any colour of car
provided it was black, Luther advocated individual judgement, provided
the individual's judgement agreed with his own. Even by his own
premise, it was further necessary for him to believe that, out of
all his fellow priests who thoroughly disagreed with his interpretations,
his was the strongest faith and greatest insight. Any man who is
egotistical enough to be capable of entertaining that notion betrays
a complete lack of understanding of the nature of faith [a state
of grace which he appears to have been singularly lacking] and that
lack of understanding, - a confusion of the concept of faith with
that of belief - seems to have persisted in the multifarious branches
of the "reformed church" to this day.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" color="#006600">500 years later, predictably, the
most prominent features of his legacy are, on the one hand, the
intolerance and the self-righteous hypocracy while, on the other
hand, there is the "why shouldn't I do what I want if it comes natural
to me?" DIY approach to morality. That being said, it's probable,
however, that had the Reformation not taken place, men would have
found another way to inflict five centuries worth of injustice and
suffering upon each other.</font></p>

<p><font color="#000000"><font size=-1> Some flavour of the times
can be had from the following excerpt (mentioning<b> John's</b>
brother, <i>Walter Powdrell</i>) from the book Vaux of Harriden.</font></font>
<p><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>On 29 October the Privy Council
ordered the Attorney General and others to examine Campion and the
other prisoners in the Tower "upon certain matters, and to put them
unto the rack." This was carried out on the 31st, and Campion was
so brutally dealt with that three weeks later he was still unable
to lift up his hand. It was after this racking that, asked how he
felt his hands and feet, he replied: "Not ill, because not at all."
</font></font><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>On 7 November
Mendoza writes that Campion has not yet been brought to trial "as
he is all dislocated and cannot move." It was not until 14th November
that he and his companions were arraigned. They all pleaded not
guilty.</font></font>
<p><font color="#000000"><font size=-1> The following day, Wednesdav
15th, Lord Vaux and the other prisoners were brought to the Star
Chamber. Among those present were Sir Thomas Bromley, Lord Chancellor,
The Earl of Sussex (Thomas Radcliffe), The Earl of Leicester (Robert
Dudley), Sir Walter Mildmay, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Christopher
Wray, Chief Justice of England, Sir James Dyer, Chief Justice of
the Common Pleas, Sir Roger Manwood, Chief Baron, and Sir Francis
Knolles, Treasurer of the Queen's Household.</font></font>
<p><font color="#000000"><font size=-1> "The prisoners at the bar
were Lord Vaux, Sir Thomas Tresham, <i>Mr Walter Powdrell</i>, of
Hallam (Derby), Mrs. Jane Griffin, of Bucks., and her husband's
brother, Mr. Ambrose Griffin. All these came from the Fleet together,
and were brought to the bar between nine and ten o'clock in the
morning. Sir William Catesby was brought from the King's Bench;
whose warning of coming thither was very late. The Lord Vaux and
Sir Thomas Tresham had been heard before his coming to the Star
Chamber. </font></font>
<p><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>"The Queen's Counsel was Popham
the Attorney-General, Egerton the Solicitor-General and Mr. Serjeant
Anderson. After the usual tirade against the Pope, Popham proceeded
to the charge of contempt of court. Then against the lord Vaux,
Sir Thomas Tresham and Sir William Catesby, Popham further did give
in evidence that they being examined thereof did deny it; who being
required by the counsel to confirm it by an oath, refused it; who
then charged them, upon their allegiance to swear, but they refused
it: whereupon he urged the contempt, but he neither produced for
it warrant of law or precedent . . . </font></font>
<p><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>"The evidence read in that
behalf was a confession of Mr. Campion's at the rack, the [blank]
of August last etc. before the lieutenant of the Tower, Norton and
Hammon. The content whereof was that he had been at the house of
the Lord Vaux sundry times, at Sir Thomas Tresham's house, at Mr.
Griffin's of Northamptonshire where also the Lady Tresham then was,
and at the house of Sir W illiam Catesby, where Sir Thomas Tresham
and his lady then was. Also at one time when he was at the Lord
Vaux's he said that the Lord Compton was there, but not mentioning
conference with them or the like.</font></font>
<p> <font color="#000000"><font size=-1>"Mr Powdrell admitted harbouring
Campion but protested it was the 8th January not the 12th, as Lord
Shrewsbury (who examined him) had set down. This was important
for the proclamation against the Jesuits was published on January
12th. But he denied that he came "to the </font><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>latter
</font></font><font size=-1>ending of the Mass," but said,
"I have received Mr Campion. I have confessed it and I have
not offended therein for bestowing a night’s lodgings on him who
sometimes did read to me at University and in whom I never did know
evil."<br />

<br />
<font size=-1>The religious rhetoric of the time concealed a very
real struggle for power and the main aim of government, up until the
early 1600’s, was to break the influence of the powerful Catholic
families. This, in 1605, they finally succeeded in doing with
the help of Guy Fawlkes! There is no conclusive evidence that
the "plot" to blow up the Houses of Parliament was, as some
historians suspect, of Government origin but it is unlikely that the
popular view of the conspiracy is even an approximation of the truth.
A closer examination of the evidence reveals many inconsistencies
in the official version of the events. Whoever was responsible
for its conception, the timely "discovery" of the plot certainly resulted
in the effective destruction of the power of the Catholic families
in the country. For nearly 400 years, Britain has celebrated
Guy Fawlkes Night on the 5th of November, with fireworks and bonfires
to burn the "Guy". </font>
<p><font size=-1>One of the so-called "conspirators" and, as the leader
of the Roman Catholics in Britain, one of the government’s principal
targets, was leading Jesuit, Father Garnet. The Powdrells
part in the affair was that they concealed him in a priesthole in
Thrumpton Hall, in consequence of which, an Act of Attainder was
brought against the family. They were fined a sum equivalent
to the value of their property (which was then sold to one Gervase
Pigot) and they, and their descendants, lost the right to bear the
Powdrell coat of arms.</font> <font size=-1>Father Garnet
was eventually hung.</font>
