481 words - 2 pages tactic.I think that it's easy to say that both Karlstadt and Muntzer would want to respond to the criticism and have people listen; however, being the popular man Luther already was made it tough for them to get through to the more important people. For example, Luther's letters stated above probably had more people follow his word then Muntzer's rebuttal in his letter to Frederick the Wise. Muntzer was furious with Luther's letter calling Luther a, "mendacious man" and states that Luther is a, "pompous tyrant, and full of ferocity and hate."All three of these men no doubt have already had a great impact in the reformation. It seems to me that so far, Luther has won round one.
