Non-Catholics, as a rule are not familiar with the degrading teachings which Luther expounded in his infamous work on "Slave Will."  They have never been given an opportunity to study this volume at first hand and find out for themselves the destructive principles therein advocated.  Their ignorance of the facts has been taken advantage of, and they have been made to believe that their leader, who declared man's will to be a "slave will" was the real and only one who promoted liberty in the sixteenth century, by breaking the fetters of religious bondage and securing for all perfect freedom of conscience and thought.  This view has been repeated so often by the maligners of truth that they have come to imagine that as soon as the people of Europe got the Bible - Luther's Bible, mistranslated, changed, and altered - they abandoned the Mother Church, rushed into the new man-made form of religion of their own accord, and at once established civil and religious liberty for everybody.  The story is fascinating .  It tells against Rome, and therefore thousands upon thousands have been deceived into giving it credence.  What, however, is the hard, cold, plain truth in this case?
