| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther |
 | | His mission to Rome, extending over an estimated period of five months, one of which he spent in the city of Rome, which played so important a part in his early biographies, and even now is far from a negligible factor in Reformation research, occurred in 1511, or, as some contend, 1510. |
 | | One of the incidents of the Roman mission, which at one time was considered a pivotal point in his career, and was calculated to impart an inspirational character to the leading doctrine of the Reformation, and is still detailed by his biographers, was his supposed experience while climbing the Scala Santa. |
 | | Bucer was entrusted with the mission of securing the consent of Luther, Melancthon and the Saxon princes. |
