Well, I’m no fan of Huffington, either, but it was the first link I found that referenced the three priests. As to your question, I just don’t know how the process works. Lutherans just don’t have a process of that type.
So, I guess my question, rephrased, is can a non-Catholic be considered a martyr by the CC?
Yes, and know that there were many, many Christians who died under the Nazis…there were thousands of German Catholic priests who were executed for opposing Naziism…I still have the book my father got from the seminary…it showed photos of the priests going forward to be shot, and they were never canonized either.
