Protestantische Rompilger (Protestant Rome Pilgrims) (subtitled: Der Verrat an Luther, or The treason of Luther) was a polemic written by Alfred Rosenberg to answer the Protestant criticism (mainly from the Confessing Church) of his 1930 The Myth of the Twentieth Century. It was also aimed against Friedrich Rittelmeyer and the Christengemeinschaft (Christian Community). In it, he demanded that the German Volk be released from Christianity and called Christian teachings of sin and grace as "teachings of inferiority". It was published by the Hoheneichen-Verlag, Munich, in a gift edition (already on its 4th edition by 1932, 696 S.), Volksausgabe (from 1933, 712 S.), Dünndrucksaugabe (712 S), and in an 86-page 1937 edition.

Reactions

Protestant churches

The work released a storm of indignation from the Deutschen Evangelischen Kirche (German Evangelical Church), Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche (Evangelical-Lutheran Church), Bruderrat der Evangelischen Kirche (Council of Brethren of the Evangelical Church), Schlesische Bekenntnissynode (Silesian Confessional Synod), Martin-Luther-Bund (Martin Luther League) and other connected organisations. 96 church leaders signed the Die Erklärung der 96 evangelischen Kirchenführer gegen Alfred Rosenberg against it in 1937. Walter Kunneth was a prominent Lutheran involved in the polemical controversy against Rosenberg.

Roman Catholic church

Bishop Alois Hudal, rector of the foundation of Santa Maria dell'Anima and an expert of the Holy Office, played a large part in getting "Myth of the 20th Century" placed on the Index of Forbidden Books on 7 February 1934 as a result of Protestantische Rompilger.
