“Should not those who have sinned openly,.... Luther replied, 'A brother ought first to be rebuked privately, especially if the fault is new and involves only a few people. But if the error is firmly rooted among many people, so that it's not possible to approach every individual and admonish him separately, the error must be rebuked and refuted openly.'” Tabletalk, Lauterbach #3967, August 19, 1538
LW, AE, 54:300
