Francis will not lift the excommunication of Martin Luther (+1546), ChurchMilitant.com has learned (December 31).
Around 30 "Catholic" and Protestant German "theologians" wrote to Francis in June urging him to repeal the penalty against Luther. They seem not to know that lifting an excommunication from a dead person is pointless, because an excommunication stops once the person died.
The Church celebrates the 500th anniversary of Luther’s excommunication on January 3. Francis will use this date to intensify the "dialogue" with Lutherans. The Lutheran World Federation announced a January 4 joint press release with the Vatican to “lead us further on the path from conflict to communion.”
The Lutheran community is disintegrating even faster than the Novus Ordo Church.

This is a sorry and all-too-common reflection of nationalism among certain German Catholics. They're still trying to exonerate "one of their own". What it shows is their first …More

This is a sorry and all-too-common reflection of nationalism among certain German Catholics. They're still trying to exonerate "one of their own". What it shows is their first loyalty is to their German heritage and their countrymen, not to The Church or its teachings. Surprise, surprise, surprise...

The time is not right for them to lift the excommunication. Someday it will be.
