Pope Francis put up a statue of Martin Luther in a prominent place in the Vatican. He then received a delegation of Lutherans, who presented him with a copy of Luther's 95 Thesis. He then put on a blue scarf, representing the Lutheran tradition, at his meeting with the Lutherans.
See:

Luther, who was historically considered a Catholic heretic and apostate, has received more honor from Pope Francis than most Catholic saints. On the other hand, conservative Catholic cardinals like Cardinal Burke and Cardinal Sarah, are treated like dirt.
What more evidence do we need, to prove that Francis is a secret liberal Protestant, who unexpectedly found himself holding the position of the papacy?
And yet the Four Cardinals of the Dubia have said nothing against it. That’s because they are just as much a Vatican II ecumenist as Francis is.
Faithful Catholics must cling to their Catholic Faith now more than ever.
Mr. niteowl77
MLK a saint of the Roman Catholic Church? Sounds pretty far-fetched but then again St. Margaret of Scotland Church in Morristown, NJ has a stained glass window of Dr. King.
Perhaps with elca or other lib lutherans, not even close to conservative ones.
The Catholic church did the damage to itself.
I asked a friend of mine who is Lutheran.
She said, "he is their problem, we are not claiming him."
As for me, sorry, you elected him. We told you 1600 or so years ago that this was a bad idea.
To the best of my knowledge it would be highly unlikely/unusual for a non-Catholic to be recognized as a saint by the RCC, but not impossible.
I could be wrong.
Nope.
But he could be a fake Christian.
man you musta had a chutzpah latte for breakfast
I’m southern baptist and we don’t think about this 16th century stuff so many Catholics here obsess over
I keep up cause ima pseudo intellectual ..lol...not for religious nanner nanner bragging rights
I hate to be the new bearer hoss but your average southern baptist is exponentially more conservative and a more reliable voter than your averaged Catholic
Most...yes I said most..Catholics I know off this board just pay lip service to their born faith...like most Jews
It’s just how it is
You wish Francis was a southern baptist of TX/TN church of Christ ....he’d be on level with JP2 or Benedict
No you guys own Francis the talking messianic humanist all by your lonesomes
Call your Cardinal
I will throw you a yummy King Cake though
Fran does talk like a Reformed Lutheran
Social justice warrior to the core
I don’t like it either
It’s good for humanity to have a good pope
I’m now convinced the liberal cardinals ousted Benedict to install this goose
They had the numbers and ran with it
No kidding
The OP misses the point of Gods word
The pope could be a dang murderer and you don’t give up on Gods word
One of my preachers started sweating the congregation for building fun and bragging about last year when I ran over and he sent the 300,000 to Africa
I was like what about folks need help here or better yet pay down your debt mister
We left and went to another Baptist church
But we sure didn’t throw in the towel
Absolute. Nonsense
Who teaches that self serving garbage
Clean up your own church like a man and quit blaming others
The state of Catholicism is not our fault hoss
I hate to say it but at least one in five Catholics on this forum are just as odious
I never ever read so much garbage till I came here
But non Catholics who live in high Catholic population areas freep me welcome to the club my man this is how it is
I have around 25 Catholics in mine and wife’s family...they don’t act like this and we go to each other’s services when it’s proper
I love e a high Christmas mass
I want to know who teaches this snotty dogma I see here
Being a good Christian has zero to do with being on the first string team
You can eschew all churches but if you accept Christ and try to live the life you’re on your way to what matters
Some Catholics act like it’s just membership ...that’s Satans work that sort of thinking
It’s silly like more like a club to some than a church
I can go to any of two dozen threads a day by a handful of zealots and it’s the exact same nonsense
Too bad OP glommed a worthy nick...
If he did, he might have behaved differently.
The Reformation Quincentennial is like our Civil War Centennial was: people figure it happened so long ago that that they can be nice to each other and just pretend it was a big misunderstanding.
Not disagreeing with you on any of that. I saw the title and it irritated me.
We get attacked here so I avoid these threads as much as possible.
I could easily post on so many but responses are nasty and demeaning.
Have no time for Waring Christians.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
That’s desperation to try to explain away what’s happening in the Catholic church.
Maybe a mainline Protestant, but certainly NOT a Christian.
Hey, it’s YOUR college of cardinals who put him in place.
Supposedly guided by the Holy Spirit.
He’s all yours.
To the One True Church that is supposedly protected by the Holy Spirit?
Then it's not the OTC after all, is it?
