Benedict XVI to Visit Lutheran Church in Rome [WHY!!!!???]

[Louis_Martin]

The problem is he'll be participating in a religious service.

Benedict XVI will visit a Lutheran church in Rome for a German-language service in which both he and a Lutheran pastor will give homilies.

He's going to be acting like the Church is on the same footing as the Lutheran sect.  That's exactly what that entails.  Equal speaking time for a little "pastor" and the Sovereign Pontiff.  What does that say?
