(LWI) - "We have experienced a lot of encouragement for the ecumenical journey of Lutherans and Catholics worldwide," the chairman of the German National Committee (GNC/LWF) of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), Bishop Gerhard Ulrich, said following a private audience of the GNC with Pope Francis.
“With God's help, we hope for a future that aims at a complete overcoming of divergences. We have to go on.” Pope Francis told the German Lutheran delegation, according to the Vatican. “The Joint Commemoration of the Reformation anniversary has confirmed to us that ecumenism continues to guide our path.

Translation?
In a world in which Christians will soon be hounded, on the run, hiding from a relentless atheistic humanist, malevolent majority, there will likely be little luxury for carrying on old fights.
Toooooooooooooo late, Bubbala.
You’ll ALL be Muslims soon.
VERY soon.
Faithful Catholic will just have to “hold down the fort” until Francis no longer is with us.
Arm up Christians.
Satan thought this was his time and Obama was his man. But God has other plans now beginning with Trump and Satan will have to wait awhile.
IMO, America will brighten up again and in the next few decades, there will be one last in-gathering of souls around the world before Christ returns for his saints.
After that, the Muzzies will take over the world and all hell will break loose like no one has ever seen before. Soon, but not yet.
Not that it will make you feel any better, but the Lutheran World Federation is no more representative of the faith of Confessional Lutherans than Francis is of the faith of Faithful Catholics.
Jesus, as he has said many many times throughout his word, is saying, “FEAR NOT” - as in I & II Thessalonians he constantly reminds us to be comforted regarding the end times.
Satan thought this was his time and Obama was his man. But God has other plans now beginning with Trump and Satan will have to wait awhile.
IMO, America will brighten up again and in the next few decades, there will be one last in-gathering of souls around the world before Christ returns for his saints - and ALL his saints are going up to Heaven.
After that, the Muzzies will take over the world and all hell will break loose like no one has ever seen before. Soon, but not yet.
