“Little monk, little monk, you are taking a hard road!” were the warning words to Martin Luther before the first Diet of Worms in 1521, presided over by Emperor Charles V. “Worms” of course is not a reference to the can of worms this Government seems to have opened by investigating the former, but a little town on the Rhine.
Martin Luther was not to be deterred by the enormity of the odds against him. His resolution to stand by his convictions made him one of the most influential figures in human history. Then that was another time, another continent and another people.
