Luther’s Revenge: The Neo-Catholic Surrender to Protestantism
Remnant Newspaper ^ | September 24, 2017 | Christopher A. Ferrara

Posted on 09/25/2017 7:48:09 AM PDT by ebb tide

Third, Akin’s argument that a commemoration of the “Reformation” is not a celebration of it borders on deliberate deception. Akin cites favorably “From Conflict to Communion: The Lutheran-Catholic Common Commemoration of the Reformation in 2017.”  This deplorable piece of trash, which portrays the destroyer of Christendom and his fellow “reformers” as laudable Christians who “had no desire to found a new church,” was produced jointly by the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, which would more aptly be named the Pontifical Council for the Prevention of Christian Unity. The LWF’s member sects are so doctrinally and morally debased that the more conservative Lutherans want nothing to do with the organization or its feckless “ecumenical dialogue” with the Vatican. 

At Lund, Pope Bergoglio accepted precisely LWF’s invitation to celebrate with them the Reformation, with female pretend clergy included in the appalling spectacle. In addition to participating in a joint “liturgy” with pro-abortion, pro-sodomy Lutheran lay people in clerical costumes, Bergoglio lent the prestige of the papal office to a Joint Declaration which states: “we are profoundly thankful for the spiritual and theological gifts received through the Reformation,” followed immediately by the lie that “we also confess and lament before Christ that Lutherans and Catholics have wounded the visible unity of the Church.” Catholics did not wound the visible unity of the Church by remaining members of it, nor by opposing the heresies of the “Reformers”—which, absurdly enough, CA also claims to be doing at the same time it minimizes the same heresies to the point of irrelevance so that Bergoglio’s antics will seem defensible.

Catholics need to surrender to true Bible believing doctrine and let go of all of the fantasy and idol worship. May God help them.

The neo Protestants are evil to the core, as they also leave the tenants of The Bible to embrace new age false religion. Stay away from them and gravitate to the strong in Christ and true Bible believers.

I read this thread and am reminded of what God said He was going to do...

Amos 8:11
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:”

Notice that this ‘promise’ was not denominational specific... it would cover the full spectrum of denominations. The world is hip deep in this God promised famine.

Martin Luther is the destroyer of Christendom??? Seriously??? Last time I checked, Christendom is STILL here and souls are being won to Jesus Christ every single day. No man can destroy what God has built. The author's bombastic hyperbole doesn't give his points credibility.

Repeating a word that you know is against the rules is a blatant disregard of the guidelines.

Stay out of the Religion Forum for 2 days.

>>psycho-analysis on Hitler

Herbert Marcuse and his fellow Marxist demoralists demonstrate that Freudian psychobable has very little to do with reality.

Nonetheless, insofar as crazy can be understood, studying the ideological pedigree of the thoughts expressed in Mein Kampf is a valid exercise.

Catholics worship God, and no one else.
