Dont the Lutherans he’s meeting up with believe in abortion and gay marriage?
Maybe Frances could be the Lutheran pope and we could have a real Pope?
There is a vast difference between Martin Luther and modern day Lutherans.
Married lesbian bishops.
Once again, Papa Francisco disgraces himself and embarrasses over a billion Catholics.
Silencio!
Oh, EPU, I LOVE your suggestion.
Luther hated Jews..Wonder if Francis wants us to emulate that????
He just doesn’t stop.
How insulted our Risen Lord must be.
What the HELL would we learn from Lutherans?? He is an anti-POPE!!
Many Catholics are suffering the reign of this Pope in respectful silence. The only solace is that there have been worse and the Church has survived.
We don’t want ‘im! Solve your own mess!
Alternately you can give him to the ELCA; they’re social justice gospel heretics anyways.
You’re joking, right? :)
Sounds like the name of a comedy skit on SNL
Did Luther warn against not believing in global warming?
EXCELLENT question.
However, Lutherans don't HAVE to believe or not believe in abortion and homosexual unions. They are allowed far more choice in what they want to believe.
They have no world-wide, national or state leader who speaks for them.
All you have to do is "Google" the question if Lutherans believe in abortion and homosexual unions. NO CLARITY at all.
You would THINK, wouldn't you, that the WORD OF GOD would be sufficient for them. The Bible is very clear about the union of ONE man and ONE woman.
As for homosexuality, it has ALWAYS been anathema, an abomination to ALL cultures of the world.
I do know that Islam forbids homosexuality.

I believe that abortion is allowed in SOME Muslim countries but not in the K.S.A.
I would THINK that abortion SHOULD be anathema to ALL Christians.
GOOD one.
Harharhar.
I have to say BS to this. I am a Catholic myself so I believe I can address this. The CATHOLIC CHURCH can learn alot from Luther. Catholic church goers did not offer absolutions for cash nor did they try to hide pedophile priests, the CATHOLIC CHURCH did. I love my religion. I detest my Church.

I guess Pope Benedict, the "PANZER POPE" was CORRECT in saying that the worst evil of our times is RELATIVE MORALITY.
Two words come to my mind: reform and Scripture. It is amazing how we landed a goofball for a Pope. I miss the brilliance of B XVI, the leadership of JP II and the clarity of P XII. One thing for sure we can learn from Luther is that “God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient” (Eph 5: 6).
The deaths of many Catholics during the Reformation should be recalled boldly by every Pope.
Luther wouldn’t recognize the liberal “Lutherans” in Sweden, Germany or the USA for that matter.
