Defending Pope Leo X

I love this and trust me, I was once in the LC-Missouri Synod and had thought about going back recently. For far too long we’ve only been given one side. I thought this piece was excellent. Pray for me. I will be going to Confession tomorrow for the 1st time in 3 weeks. I am a struggling catholic but still a catholic. God’s peace on you all.

One of the unfortunate results of the Reformation (especially in these days as ecumenical efforts are the norm) is that many Catholics experience an inappropriate sort of “Reformation guilt” and tend to view their own side as seriously at fault. While this is true to some extent (heck, it’s even in the introduction to the Catechism of Trent), it must not be overstated or used to justify Herr Luther’s actions.

Thank you for sharing this post.

Yep. I have seen some apologies from Lutherans but nothing from the later added on protestant sects. Heck, they think Lutherans are pretty much catholic.

…Herr Luther’s actions.

Herr DOKTOR Luther.

This was a guy who sat around at night thinking, “Hm, all of those popes and councils and theologians said the opposite of what I teach for centuries and centuries. Could I possibly be right while everyone else has been wrong? Mmmm… yeaaah, obviously.” We cannot forget such a man’s complete title.
