I agree. “Reconciliation” seems to mean that protestants will finally acknowledge the Pope as the leader of all Christian churches per current Catholic doctrine. The changes proposed would not induce me to become a Catholic or accept the Pope as the head of my church. I’m not sure to whom this OP is directed because removing “excommunications” from those excommunicated in the Reformation would not mean much to protestants - we don’t believe in it anyway.

I agree.
I left the Catholic chruch for a rason, and since that hasn't changed but rather gotten worse, then there's no reason to consider returning to it.
Until and unless they begin to clean house, beginning with their pederast preists and thsoe who enabled them, I see no reason to return to a church that won't follow the direction for church leadership that's in the Bible so many Catholics claim their church wrote.
If they can't follow something out of Scripture that is so clear and unequivocal, there's just no point in associating myself with them.
I won't put myself under the authority of any immoral religious man or organization.
The one who posted the thread should tell you to whom the OP is directed. My educated guess is it's another hit piece on Pope Francis for having the audacity of suggesting Martin Luther and the Reformation contributed anything good to the Catholic church and any kind of reconciliation was possible.
Now just WHERE does ya get THAT crazy idea??
Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema.
