Default As Luther's Church has fallen, what does that say about the roots of Protestantism?

A few days ago the Lutheran's voted to allow active gay clergy and hierarchy in direct defiance of the laws of God. As Luther is the founding father of Protestantism, how does this make people feel? They are following in the steps of the Presbyterians.
The apostle - you only wish you have read as much "stuff" about Luther as I have. His writing were also used by Hitler to help justify the holocaust.
Leonard - good food for thought, God be with you.

Wow. That's scary. It's a good thing I'm non-denominational.

Dude... if the worst thing a believer does in his life is have sex with someone of his or her own gender, they should be made a saint.

i am not surprised, since Jesus addresses many problems of to days churches in Revelation.
anyone who would like read a study about can find it on GraceThruFaith, articles: Seven Churches of Revelation.

Jesus did prophesied that many will lose the true spirit of God, and protestant division is one of them.

The "roots" of Protestantism are still valid points regarding the Roman Catholic Church at the time. This action confirms that corruption of human churches is a given, including the RCC.

Why perpetuate this "us vs. them" mentality?
Please read and consider 1 Corinthians 10
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians+10&version=NASB

1 Corinthians 12:12-14 (New American Standard Bible)
"For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many."

Let me a see, a failed church that descended from a failed religion. I will give this to Martin Luther, at least, he recognized some of the flaws in the Catholic Church, if not Christianity as a whole. Has the Lutheran Church fallen? Has Protestantism as a whole fallen? Has Christianity fallen? No, three times. There are simply three rotting branches of the same tree. It is not the roots of Protestantism that is flawed, it is the roots of Christianity itself. The whole argument sounds like trying to decide which part of a sewer smells worse.
