It wasn’t a “Reformation anniversary marked in Auckland” (NZ Catholic,
Nov. 19). According to Cardinal Gerhard Muller, in truth it was the
anniversary of “a revolution against the Holy Spirit”. “Luther”, says Cardinal
Muller, “abandoned all the principles of the Catholic faith, Scripture,
Tradition and Magisterium. The Reformation was disastrous”.
Luther deleted seven books from the Bible and excused his disordered
lifestyle as justified by faith alone, a heresy condemned by the Council of
Trent. He would hurl his faeces at the devil who he said, visited him in his
cell at night. He was excommunicated.
It mystifies me that Palmerston North’s cathedral walls could be papered
with bumf about this man, who had no intention of ‘reforming’ the Church, which
as instituted by Christ cannot be ‘reformed’ - although its members did and
always will, need reform.
It astonishes me that Bishop Dunn could give thanks for “the gifts of the
Reformation”. Unless he meant Luther’s legacy of 105 saints hanged, drawn and
quartered defending the faith in England alone.
It appals me that the Vatican can commemorate Luther with a “special
postage stamp” installing him in the place of John and the Blessed Virgin Mary,
at the foot of the Cross.
Loving our Protestant brethren doesn't mean rewriting history. This is ecumenism gone mad.
