Sigh. Let me simplify it for you:
+Catholic pope excommunicates a heretic, Martin Luther.
+Said heretic starts his own religion.
+Current pope attempts to rehabilitate said heretic and actually celebrates his revolt.
+ergo, current pope is a heretic.
I bet 'sigh'. You are stuck with a heretic as pope. Not because he tries to rehab Luther, he was one before that. Besides being a commie. Now you can't get rid of him. Tough noogs. Now you know how Luther felt about his heretical pope that he couldn't get rid of. At least Luther manned up and called him on it. All you manage to do is cry from the sidelines. Keyboard warrior indeed. Take him on someplace he'll read it. "is there a man left in the Catholic Church" besides Burke? Not here apparently.
Simply put,
*Luther (after provocations) call the pope a heretic based upon his judgment of what valid church teaching is and states.
* ebb tide and his ecclesia call the pope (and likely more than only one) a heretic based upon his judgment of what valid church teaching is and states.
