That is true; and I was amused to be at a Roman Catholic mass and hear the parishioners singing the Reformation Battle Hymn, "A Mighty Fortress is our God".
I find it rather disturbing that a man who is generally thought of as a prominent scholar has only just realized that "words mean things", as they say.

Nevertheless, I have my flame-retardant suit on. LOL! Already got flamed once.

There's not much wrong with that hymn, either, WRT Catholic teaching. (The "no thanks to them abideth" part is the most problematical, IMO.)

Are you referring to Dr. Weigel? This article is a reprint from a few years ago so no, he hasn't just discovered that words mean things.
