Walking 1,000 Miles in the Footsteps of Martin Luther, From Erfurt, Germany to Rome, and Thinking About the Reformation. - WSJ.com

We'll be following this blog as the steps of Bruder Martin are retraced by a few journalists from Erfurt to earth's hell hole, Rome, Vatican, the home to all manner of usurpations.

The trip by these WSJ writers will take 70 days and will attempt to follow Martin's footsteps in 1510--when he went to hell on earth.

We will be walking alongside, electronically.

The itinerary for these "church ecumenists" is below. We would propose that Pope Benedict set out "on foot" in "sackcloth and ashes" and make his "pilgrimmages" to Erfurt and Wittenberg. End of story.

Below is our pro­posed itin­er­ary. Many of the stop­ping places are small vil­lages or even ham­lets, so I’ve included the larger towns on-route or nearby.

This sched­ule will likely change some­what before we leave, and while we adjust it on-route. Stay tuned to our progress posts for more exact esti­mate of our arrival in any given place.

If you want more spe­cific route infor­ma­tion, visit our maps page, where each day’s jour­ney is indi­cated in dis­tinct colors.
