Perhaps the lesson the current Vatican hierarchy should take from the bloody protestant insurrection is that Satan triumphs when the leadership fails to sustain the Truth of Christ through sound teaching and faithful guidance. Nothing about what the protestants did to the Body of Christ merits the justification of this pathetic attempt at "ecumenism" when it ignores the fundamental disunity caused by those who say that protestants can claim to be followers of Christ.

Perhaps we should also sponsor conferences on Lenin and Marx's influences and "contributions!" How long, Oh Lord, How long?

More white washing of Luther in the name of ecumenism.

Seeing on the map Chick-fil-A located next to the Catholic University of America gives me more hope than this sort of "conference."
