leeneia - not Olmuz, but Olmuetz (note the umlaut!) Olmütz isn't a composer but the town where the first known published source was printed. [Instead of the umlauts with points, only to be seen with charcter coding ISO-8859-1, I use the old form with a following e.]

The cult of Mary is an import from the Mediterranean areas, where she substituted the cult of the Magna Mater (Great Mother) as regent of the world, as is clearly shown by some of her attributes.

To correct the image of God eager to punish (clearly old-testamental) and to return to the glad tidings of God's love and forgiveness is one of the main merits of Luther and the reformation. But this is not the place for preaching sermons.
