Once again Pope Francis has defied
Church teaching and policy to placate those who protest. Speaking to members of
an Ecumenical Delegation from Finland on January 19, he said, "The intention of
Martin Luther five hundred years ago was to renew the Church, not divide her."
Alas! The pope has
praised one whom the Church holds to be a heretic. The fact is that Luther
protested the Catholic Church in the sixteenth century because he regarded not
God and his rule of law. And whereas he waged his protest under the guise of a
reform, there was nothing in the Church that needed reforming other than his
unfounded errors.
