See, I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine, and it’s perfect example of something impossible today.

      I’m not sure the Catholic Church would agree that Martin Luther changed everyone’s opinion.

      I’m not sure the whole arab or asian world would agree. They’re still colonizing africa.

      MLK definitely did not change everyone’s opinion. A lot of people? Sure. Everyone? Absolutely not.

          Ah that’s my bad. My point still stands though. It’s not like he was able to convince everyone to become Protestant.

            The people who chose to remain catholic had no opinion on protestantism before it was invented, then they formed a negative opinion of it. Opinion changed, cheque mate aetheistises.

                That was not a criterion of OP’s question. As such, it doesn’t really matter. Just that they were changed is the qualifier here.

                If I were to guess, it at least changed their opinion of Martin Luther, even if they didn’t become protestants.
