Asked in James Earl Ray
Why did James earl ray shoot Martin Luther King jr even know he was white?

James Earl Ray shot Dr. King, even thought James was white, he
didn't like the way things were going. He wanted everything to go
back. He wanted whites to be good, and blacks to be bad. He shot
Martin while he was walking on his balcony for a meeting. James
fired the gun in Martin's head. Martin fell down on the balcony
floor. While he did, James ran away. A little while later, Dr.
King's wife, and some other people came to the meeting. They found
Martin Luther King's body lying on the floor. They pointed over
near a corner where I think they saw a gun lying on the ground. And
so that's how Martin Luther King Jr died.
Rest in peach Dr. King.

Where is Martin Luther King Jr. buried?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was first entombed at Southview
Cemetery, located on Jonesboro Road in SE Atlanta. If you visit
Southview, you can still see the original crypt that held Dr.
King's body. That crypt now holds the remains of both of Dr. King's
parents. The only thing that was changed from when Dr. King's body
was in this crypt is the front marble cover which now contains the
family name plus the names of Dr. King's parents.
Dr. Martin Luther King's body was later relocated to what is now
the Martin Luther King National Historic Site on Auburn Avenue is
downtown Atlanta. When his body was first relocated there, it was
closer to the street, surrounded by a simple white gate fence. Once
the King Center was completed, his crypt was relocated within the
reflecting pool, separated from sightseers by water.
King's tombstone is engraved with the words:
Free at last, free at last, thank God
Almighty, I'm free at last
When Coretta Scott King died, her body was placed in a temporary
crypt in front of Dr. King's tomb and now rests beside him in a
double crypt.

Reward the Catholic Church was offering for Martin Luther?

Catholic Answer
Reward for Martin Luther? I think you've been reading Science
Fiction. Martin Luther was a Catholic Friar who broke his vows,
left his monastery under his own power - the Catholic Church is the
Mystical Body of Christ. As such, she preaches the Gospel and
administers the sacraments of Our Blessed Lord, she is not a
military government.
Asked in Catholicism, Reformation History, Martin Luther
Why did the Church Fail to Kill Martin Luther?

.
Catholic Answer
The Church failed to kill Martin Luther because it never tried to
kill Martin Luther. The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ and
was established by Our Blessed Lord to bring all people to
salvation, to preach His Gospel, and to administer His Sacraments.
The Church does not try to kill heretics, it tries to save them,
and to limit the damage they do to others.
