Francis received on Friday the Lutheran pastor Michael Jonas, who is working in Rome. The meeting was relaxed and cordial, Jonas told the Protestant Press Service (epd).
Francis was well informed about the German churches. He [again] recounted that as a young Jesuit he once replaced a Lutheran pastor in a Protestant service during a stay in Scandinavia.
According to Jonas, Francis said that Catholics and Lutherans were "very close" in what they do in their respective liturgies.
However, the Catholic Church teaches that the Mass is a sacrifice and that, at consecration, bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Christ. The Lutherans deny both these tenets of the Faith.

The catholic church must officially acknowledge that the conclave of 2013 was canonically defective.
Bergoglio has never been a pope of any description just a successfull confidence trickster pulling the wool over the eyes of millions of catholics.
