Francis will probably try to make a case for Luther’s sainthood.
Of course he should. Luther tremendously expanded the reach of Christianity by observing it extends beyond human-imposed limits, and spawned the notion that everyone should have access to God’s Word without relying on obligatory fallible human intervention.
(And should one retort that “matters of worship are infallible”, then I’d contend that means excommunication is irreversible, be the subject dead or alive.)
Yep.
