Normally we celebrate anniversaries we wish to see repeated: birthdays, weddings, sobriety. Do we want another Reformation? That depends on who you ask.

"Do we want another Reformation?

Why would "we" want or need another Reformation? The autocratic stranglehold of a then corrupt Church is over.

I just heard, growing up, that the whole reformation was based on Martin Luther’s desire to fornicate with a woman. He never intended it to turn into a movement.

The Church is corrupt and is being punished with a Lutheran Pope. The scourging cannot last forever.

The essential problem I see in Catholicism is its obsession with those who reject their claim of being the only legitimate Christianity.
If unity is so important to them, there is nothing stopping them from dropping their claim that Rome is the seat of legitimate Christianity.

Its a little like a nutty ex who wants you back, and tries to convince you that they were right all along, and that all can be ok if you simply accept that you should submit to them again.

But I always enjoy these anguished, “I used to be a protestant” tales.

Now Protestantism finds itself in the same boat as modern families: made up of tenuous links, attachments made and broken, just like the flotsam and jetsam left behind in the wreckage wrought by divorce.

I was under the distinct impression that Martin Luther was not regarded favorably by the Church.

Well, check your Catholic hymnal. You'll probably find "A mighty fortress is our God" by Martin Luther. Hmm. That's awkward.
