Francis-Bergoglio the Enemy Within…
Pope
Francis will participate in a joint ceremony between the Catholic Church and
the World Lutheran Federation (WLF) to honor the 500th anniversary of the
Protestant Reformation on Oct. 31, 2016, in Lund, Sweden, according to the
Vatican press office.
On October 31, 1517, the former Catholic priest Martin Luther
(d.1546) nailed his 95 theses (disputations about Catholic Church practices,
including indulgences) on the door of All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg,
Germany, an action that helped launch the Reformation.
The
ceremony in Sweden in October of this year will touch off a year-long
celebration and series of events about the Protestant Reformation.
According to Vatican Radio, Pope
Francis will participate in a common worship service based upon a
Catholic-Lutheran “Common Prayer,” which was published earlier this year by the
Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Pontifical Council for Promoting
Christian Unity (PCPCU).
