I just wish ScaryGoat would tell Pope Francis that – it would save a lot of time and energy that’s currently being wasted.
All 3 contemporaries, right? The point about Yves Congar is that his ecumenical writings were once restricted until John 23 invited this theologian to help craft the 2nd Vatican Council. Congar’s “True and False Reform in the Church” is a foundation statement of Vatican 2.
Only with his “The meaning of Tradition” book.
Not familiar with Rahner. What do you consider a good theology work of his?

But seriously, Catholics have just as much right to put garbage on the internet as anyone else.
His book on the Trinity. He is faithful to orthodox trinitarianism, but suggests that in the Latin Church since the Middle Ages there has been an unhealthy dichotomy between the Unity and Trinity of God, and argues that we ought to approach God as He reveals Himself in the economy. That explanation doesn’t really do justice to him. I have an edition with an introduction by La Cugna which I’d thoroughly recommend.
To what degree is Lutheranism impacted today by Luther’s personal interpretation of the gospel?
How do you interpret both Pope Benedict and now Pope Francis’ outreach to Lutheranism? Is it a threat similar to David L Gray musing about the Pope Francis being “confusing”. Catholics need to be informed not clinging to medieval understanding. I have many Catholic relatives who view what is written CAF as painful and misguided.
If you truly believe that then you do not recognize the Vatican of 2013.
Sorry, but I find that illogical, in the sense that your therefore conclusion does not derive from the if statement.
No offense, but I don’t think you thought that one through. I can’t imagine the pope saying “Blank was true in medieval times, but isn’t truth today.” (Well, unless you mean something like “It’s raining outside is true today but it wasn’t true yesterday.”
)I don’t know who David L. Gray is, but you might check out what one of your fellow Lutherans had to say on this subject. (That link may have been posted on this forum before, I don’t remember.)
Oh of course not. And I admire Benedict XVI most for his resistance to the dictatorship of relativism. But what I think he means is that Gregory VII would claim that some things are true of the Roman See that Francis would not, etc.No offense, but I don’t think you thought that one through. I can’t imagine the pope saying “Blank was true in medieval times, but isn’t truth today.” (Well, unless you mean something like “It’s raining outside is true today but it wasn’t true yesterday.”
I have come across this before. Has anyone bothered to do the research on these quotes and read them in their context? Also, I have yet to find this actual book by Trishreden Wiemer. This has come up in conversation too and the person quoted from THIS EXACT LIST. (If anyone does find this book volume, please post a link)Here is an article I put together that itemizes some of the Martin Luther’s most ridiculous comments. If you know a Protestant, please share this with them. It’s important that we know where we come from.
Thanks
Yes, I bothered. The majority of the quotes posted are direct cut-and-pastes from a web page entitled, “Luther, Exposing the Myth.” I did the work of looking up the quotes: A Review of Luther, Exposing the Myth.
I hope he reaches out to all our separated brethren and brings all of you safely home again.
David L. Gray is the the OP of this thread.
