	Martin Luther: The Babylonian Captivity, 1520 first edition
		Captivity is primarily an attack on the Roman Church’s sacramental system, the practices and teachings that gave the Church its spiritual and temporal authority.
		The central argument of the Babylonian Captivity was that the essence of a true sacrament is that of a divine promise, and that each Christian had to accept this promise for himself.
		Captivity and Luther’s refusal to recant it at Worms marks a point at which individual conscience and the forces of empire crashed with astounding and epoch-shaping force, setting off a disruption so great that five centuries later the shock waves are still rippling through the social, cultural, religious and economic fabric of the Western world.

		Thus began the seventy year period known as the “Babylonian Captivity of the Church” (1309-1378), during which the Popes increasingly lost touch with their spiritual goals, lost their spiritual and temporal prestige, and found the very foundations of their hierocratic vision for Christian society crumbling beneath their feet.
		In 1378 the “Babylonian Captivity” of the Papacy came to an end with the return to Rome of the Papacy under Gregory XI (r.

	Where Is the Objective Evidence?
		He went on to predict that a captivity in Babylon would happen and that it would last for 70 years (vs:11-12), but there is no way that Price can distort this passage to mean that Jeremiah predicted that the captivity would begin in the first year of Nebuchadnezzar.
		It is recognized as a historical fact supported by all the "objective evidence" that the Babylonian captivity of the Judean Jews did not last 70 years.

	A BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY, by Professor Revilo P. Oliver
		In 597-586 Nebuchadnezzer, trying to quiet the seething trouble-spot in his dominions, Judaea, where the Yids were constantly intriguing with both the Babylonians and the Egyptians and treacherously betraying each in turn, deported to Babylon and other regions a fairly large number of Jews.
		This is called the "Babylonian Captivity" and deplored by sentimental Aryans who do not perceive what a great (God-sent?) opportunity it gave the godly folk to infiltrate and exploit the civilized world by operating from what was long one of its major commercial centers, comparable to New York city today.
		The term "Babylonian Captivity" was used metaphorically by Petrarch to describe the removal of the Papal See from Rome to Avignon, which he especially deplored, because while it removed a focus of festering corruption, it also impoverished the inhabitants of the "Eternal City," for which Petrarch felt a cultural and scholarly patriotism.

		Not that he did not continue beyond that year, but the expression is designed to mark the fact that he who was one of the first captives taken to Babylon, lived to see the end of the captivity.
