I agree. If he is a heretic then why the church make a joint declaration with the followers of a heretic?Yes, in reference to the Magisterium and the Catholic Church he was a heretic. If you say this to an educated Lutheran they will probably respond with a shrug followed by a nonchalant “whatever.”
Well informed catholic would not base their faith on any “anti”. Instead he would search and ponder on what is truthful. What Paul said in the book of Romans and Galatians are very imporant issue. No one can take that lightly, so the church has seen this as very imporant. But some superficial understanding on this can come out with empty “slogans” that only divide the church the more.I suppose that well informed Catholics due the same when certain people refer to the Pope as the Anti-Christ.
God bless.
