| Egbert II van Heemskerck - Calvin and Luther in Hell |
The "Reformation" has brought no "gifts." It has lead millions of souls to Hell.
Luther was a liar and a deceiver and his work condemned.
This malefactor, this heretical priest tore Europe apart and it has never recovered. He tore the Holy Mass and Holy Sacraments apart and Holy Scripture. He tore seven books out the Old Testament and called the Epistle of St. James the Apostle, "straw." Had he been able, he would have removed it.
Yet, what does our Bishop of Rome, Jorge Bergoglio say?
"Luther took a great step by putting the Word of God into the hands of the people."
Is he just ignorant of the truth, or is he trying to deceive?
Cost and access to Holy Scripture
The Holy Bible was already in German and the first bible in English was produced in 1380 by John Wycliffe, an Oxford Professor. It was hand-written. Why? Because there was no printing press invented until 1450!
Then, as now, the cost of producing a book, in this case the Holy Bible was two things, the material with which to construct it and the time and labour associated with that. Now think about this for a moment. In Ontario, where I write this, a generally low skilled clerical wage is about $20.00 per hour. It would take ten months, ten months to hand write the Holy Bible. That would equal a total of $36,000 in labour costs. I am not even considering any artistic illumination. While a monk would not have been paid, we can begin to appreciate the cost of production of a bible. Consider the time. It would then need to be bound. Is it fair to conclude that a Holy Bible anytime prior to the inventing of the printing press would have been in today's equivalent of $50,000 or more? Is it any wonder that churches and universities and libraries chained the bible and other books? How many Protestants accused Catholics of doing that to keep Catholic from reading it?
Medieval literacy
Who could damn well read? The literacy rate in 1500 ranged from as low as 5% in rural Germany to a high approaching 40% in England thanks to the Monastery system. These rates plummeted after Henry VIII's dissolution, a man who was ironically granted the title, "Defender of the Faith" by the Pope for his treatise on the Seven Sacraments and his condemnation of Martin Luther as a heretic. Henry wanted him executed!
So, if bibles were available, they were unaffordable and most people could not read.
But Francis buys in, to the Protestant lie. Are we that stupid, that ignorant of history to think that there was public education throughout history and the Internet? Do these churchmen think that we are as ignorant and stupid as Hillary Clinton thinks Americans are?

We must desire that those who follow this heretic come home to the Catholic Church. All "Christians" have this obligation, all Catholics have this duty to pray for them and teach them the truth. Some people, such as Jorge Bergoglio, call that "proselytising." He goes further to call it a "sin" against oecumenism.
One cannot sin against a word or an act. One sins against God.
True oecumenism will come from clarity
True oecumenism will come from clarity
We must speak with clarity and indeed, charity to our Lutheran, Anglican, Presbyterian, Baptist, Evangelical brothers and sisters and those others such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Seventh-Day Adventists and more. It is our duty to proclaim the fullness of their Judaism is found in Jesus Christ and His Church and to Muslims that their Jesus is not the real Jesus and to Hindus, Buddhists and other pagans that they too, must come to Jesus Christ and His Church.
We must never force or coerce, we cannot and we do not. Why does this Bergoglio think that we do? We must propose but we must do so with clear and unambiguous teaching and proclamation.
In reference to those who follow the heretical Lutheran sect, this "prayer" below, by the Bishop of Rome fails them. He fails us as Catholics.
Church has refuted Luther
Martin Luther's errors have long been refuted by the Catholic Church. Try as he might, Bergoglio cannot ever refute them or overturn them.

Notwithstanding the signing of statements and declarations, this was an exercise in carbon foot printing. The followers of the heretic Luther do not believe in Transubstantiation. They do not believe in the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ truly present. Their doctrine is a false doctrine. Christ is "spiritually" present above, around, as long as we want him to be. When their "service" is over, the wine is poured down the drain and the bread back in the box for next time. They have openly "gay" so-called "bishops." They have women dressed up as "bishops."
How can you have a "common eucharist" with people who do not accept what It is!

Now, I would rather be accused of wearing a tin-foiled hat than being naive. Do we know see the link between the gutting of the Congregation for Divine Worship? Will the Novus Ordo Missae, which was very subtle in its Lutherenesque influence now be reformed for a something more formal? Are these men hand-picked by Francis, which of course is his juridical right, about to foist upon the Catholic world, another new liturgy that will be without doubt, the "abomination of desolation?"

This prayer spoken by Bergoglio is for unity of heart and mind. It is not a prayer of a restoration of faith. It calls instead for "common witness and service in the world" and continues to leave people, individual followers of the heretic Luther, without the Sacraments of Confirmation, Penance and the Holy Eucharist, it leaves them without Extreme Unction, it leaves their clergy without validity, uneducated and without grace of office to fall into more error.
What a tragedy, that the Bishop of Rome should visit baptised Christians and not tell them the truth, but leave them wanting.
O Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us for failing to proclaim your Truth.
