we tend to judge to much. and once again we stop here to judge. first of all i am agree with those who can not stand addicted people, but we can not just leave them to handle themselves. of course this mental disorder attacks not only the body, but also the mind(soul in the end). we should start to find what had happen, not only to stand there and blame. some people did that, drug rehab San Francisco.

Saved by GRACE alone, yes, but not by faith alone — that was Luther’s error, and he freely admitted that he added the word “alone” to Romans 3:28 because “Martin Luther will have it so!” The guy was a vulgar twit who not only tossed out 7 books from the OT but wished to toss out many more (Hebrews, James…). I guess He didn’t read Philippians 2:11-13 and Eph. 2:10 among all the other teachings of JESUS on works.

Luther’s words and works stand on their own merit. God is his judge now. We are either saved by God’s grace alone, or we aren’t. It is as simple as that.

The Roman Church has been in the wrong about Luther for 500 years, so why fix things now? It would be akin to heresy for one Pope to say that another Pope had been fallible, so I don’t foresee Luther ever being “rehabilitated” by the Roman Church. The Bishops of Rome have always had too high an opinion of themselves and their own worth.

Then again, Luther didn’t need their approval then, and he certainly doesn’t need it now.

These events strike me as typical of media coverage of the Catholic Church. Reporters don’t understand the Church, what it’s for, or how it works, but they have a lot of images about it. So they base their reporting on how some suggested fact plays off their images.

In this particular case we have a mixture of the “pope as hammer of heretics” image, the “church updates itself” image, and the “loopy clergyman” image. The last is most commonly applied to Anglican clergyman, but it really applies to all of them. It’s an aspect of the “weird people doing weird things” image.
