What does it mean when you dream of getting a lot of mice out of a church?
In this dream, the mice symbolize something that needs to be gotten out of the church. The church might be just that, your faith tradition or more specifically, your personal beliefs. Because mice are regarded as filthy vermin, they symbolize something or someone you view as particularly nasty. This might be unwelcome people that you feel are ruining the church or it might be toxic beliefs, ideas or policies. The common expression, "poor as a church mouse," might influence these dream images, in which case the dream unfortunately would suggest a desire to drive the poor out of the church.
Why did luther appeal to the princes?
Luther to the faith to the people, being against the bloated powerhouse that was then the church, telling everyone what, when, how, where and who. The church believed the peasants were too ignorant to decide for themselves and so told them what to believe. Luther believed in personal faith. Luther made the Bible available to them in a language they could understand, as the Catholic church kept the Word of God in Latin which was the language of the educated only. Also, through the selling of indulgences, the poor were exploited by the Catholic church, and Luther sought to liberate them from this.
