Martin Luther...Ex-Heretic?

The Vatican’s Reported Rehabilitation of Martin Luther

The internet and the blogosphere is filled with the discussion today of the announcement that it seems This is still in the future, but it seems Like there's going to be another rather groundbreaking change in the Roman Catholic Church specifically the rehabilitation the lifting of the excommunication of One Martin Luther from well a long time ago and Some people saw this coming.

It's really interesting. I'm not exactly sure how you maintain the concept of papal infallibility. I don't know how you can without grinning from ear to ear Talk about the consistent teaching of the church over time and do something like this, but that seems to be what's what's taking place, but what brings me to post a brief comment on this is Obviously I have heard Martin Luther ravaged as a Heretic as the main part of argumentation by Roman Catholic apologists well for a long time now and I really have to wonder how people like Art Sippo and Dave Armstrong Are going to explain their Constituencies that the infallible head of the infallible church Can rehabilitate someone that they have been identifying as a heretic?

For years on end were they just wrong. How about all those popes for all those generations? That everybody knows. Believed and taught that Luther was a heretic as well. I guess that's just does not really covered under papal infallibility.

What must it be like to be an elderly Catholic today to remember? Pre Vatican to to remember the the clarity and the consistency of Catholic teaching and To now look at what Rome looks like today. What must it be like.

Rome’s Changing Doctrine and the Problem of Consistency

I don't know how a Roman Catholic can make the kinds of arguments they make in debates about the consistency of the church and the authority of the church and and the Magisterium's teaching over time and all the rest of stuff when it's just painfully obvious that Rome is changing and that Rome's theology and doctrine is Silly putty in her hands.

That you can go around the world today and and in Catholic countries. You'll still get some of the good old old time Roman Catholicism, but in Western countries. You've got this Uncertain mishmash of things and go to Boston College.

Who knows what in the world you'll get there you get out of Mexico, and you get this folk Catholicism. And it's this is the unified Church and Now you've got the Pope himself. And I'm sorry, but can any rational person look at the Popes of the early 19th century and compare them To the modern papacy and say yep, that's the consistent Magisterium teaching the same thing.

It's not. It's clear. It's a fact. How can anyone say otherwise. It's very difficult to understand how you can defend This system in this light, and so it'll be very interesting to see. What is the extent of this rehabilitation in in reference to what?

Rome's got to be very careful how it does this but the very fact it's willing to go that direction. Really makes you wonder about the claims that these Catholic apologists make and what will art suppose say?

Sola Scriptura Versus Rome’s Unchanging Word

If The condemnation of Martin Luther is lifted. Will he apologize I? Sort of have a hard feeling that I don't think that's. I have a hard time seeing that. How about Dave Armstrong. Will he all of a sudden re-edit?

Tons and tons and tons of articles stay up for 12 days in a row re-editing thousands of pages of articles. I Sort of doubt it. But once again Here's what happens when you deny sola scriptura, and you put your faith in something outside of the unchanging and inspired Word of God.

When you defend that kind of system well. It's gonna let you down eventually. Thanks for watching.
