Guest Post: Pope to Commemorate 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation

Luther in the canon of saints? Great idea! We'll dispense with
the miracle requirement for his admirable Gospel witness! 

By David Martin

In what is being hailed as a milestone in the ongoing progress toward Catholic-Lutheran unity, Pope Francis will celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation on October 31, in Lund, Sweden. At 2:00 pm, the pope will participate in an ecumenical prayer service in the Lutheran cathedral in Lund, where he will deliver a sermon aimed at strengthening ecumenical ties between the two religions.
