Pope to Luther: Oops

So it seems B16 will argue that Luther wasn’t so much a heretic as he was . . . ahead of his time.

I’m sure Herr Luther feels much better now. (And does this mean the Vatican wants its bull back? Good luck with that . . . )

By way of Paul McCain at Cyberbrethren.

Update: Amy Welborn urges caution in crediting the Times article with anything like accuracy. Probably wise . . .
