The 500th anniversary of the Reformation has brought out a nutter brigade posting all manner of wild things about Martin Luther and Protestants in general. It’s been going on for years, though.

It doesn't sound as though the Religious Forum's a place for me:

1. Religion is a private thing, between a person and God. If someone wants to discuss faith, great. If someone wants to get pugnacious about faith, I avoid them.

2. As a Catholic, I respect Martin Luther and other reformers because the Catholic Church needed reformation in those days. The Reformation strengthened Christianity and got vastly more people involved in thinking about their faith.

3. I love the Catholic Church and always have - but that doesn't give me any position to try to tear down another's approach to faith and his/her connection to Our Savior.

As I said earlier, we need to be united and expanding, not bickering amongst each other.
