is the catholic church reformed?
I read this curious passage from a Lutheran Church in McMinnville, Oregon:
I shall have to reread the 95 Thesis with a scorecard.
Note: When I went to my favorite website for Luther information, Project Wittenberg, I was transfered to another website which lists expired websites. Is this possible?
Martin Luther was a 16th century Catholic Priest in Germany. He published a list of corrections that he thought the Catholic Church should consider. This led to the Protestant "Reformation." Luther never wanted to leave the Catholic Church, and considered himself a Catholic to the day he died. Luther was clear that he did NOT want a church named after him. His detractors knew this, and so they began to call his followers "Lutheran" just to tick him off. The name stuck. Of the reforms that Luther suggested all but one have now been enacted by the Catholic Church. The only one that hasn't is the one which states that priests should be allowed to marry.
