Lutherans: Not Interested in Distancing from Old Rhetoric
As is commonly known, Luther persistently reviled the Pope as a heretic. Should you not take the wooden head of Wittenberg simply at his word?
(kreuz.net, Regensburg) The Protestants should finally distance themselves from the barren polemic of their founder Martin Luther († 1546).
Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Mueller of Regensburg advocated this on Tuesday for the news service 'dapd'.
"It is time that on the official Protestant side that they officially distance themselves from the teaching that the Pope is anti-Christ."
Such expressions can do nothing but be reduced to an obsolete polemic -- explained Msgr Mueller.
