If the answer is no, then why are you so angry at the Reformers who stood up for moral truth and got excommunicated—and in some cases, martyred—by a wicked Pope because of it?

The answer is, "No". And that's why I'm angry with both Bergoglio and his predecessors, your so-called "Reformers". Both have have changed the "moral truth". To quote the father and hero of the reformers, Martin Luther, "Be a sinner and sin boldly".

I see you still post things out of context. I guess dishonesty is a consistency with some Roman Catholics.

I would think you HAVE TO know by now that Luther never advocated for licentiousness - regardless of what his dishonest detractors might claim. If the best you can do is pull a few words out of context to prove your point, your point is, frankly, pointless as well as deceptive. On the other hand, your Pope came right out and said "Who am I to judge?" when asked about homosexual clergy and their relationship with Almighty God. Luther was MORE a defender of the Biblical moral truths than any of the Popes were during the Reformation. Much like today, the Vatican was a place of debauchery and immorality. Obviously, there is a drastic need for reform. Other than daily complaints and threads on an Internet forum, what are you and your co-complaintants doing about it?

Dude, you SHOULD know as well as I do that in that statement, Luther was encouraging going to Confession and freely and openly admit that yes, you are a sinner.

You repeat proudly over and over how much you go to Confession, right?

Well, good for you, you’re JUST LIKE Dr. Luther.
