Pope stresses Christian unity at Lutheran church

Mixed Signals, missed by both the media and mainstream protestantism, I fear.

Protestants should be thankful that Roman Catholicism isn't at full scale war with her!

That's the message I see. The only reason the Roman Church is not at full scale war-OPENLY- is Romes fear of loosing that war. When she no longer feels the need to hide behind ambiguous wording and loosing that war, she will take off the mask!

(Reuters) - Pope Benedict told Rome's Lutheran congregation on Sunday that Protestants and Roman Catholics should be thankful for all the unity achieved among Christians rather than complain about the slow pace of dialogue.

from Reuters.com:
"Addressing about 350 Lutherans in their small church, Benedict said both sides had accused each other of slowing down the ecumenical movement, but that only God, not humans, could create true unity.
The movement has brought Christian churches closer together in recent decades but has lost momentum lately.

Some Protestants, especially in Germany, say Benedict has contributed to that by stressing more strongly the Catholic claim to be the only true church.

They say he also seems more interested in improving ties with the theologically conservative Orthodox churches than with more liberal Protestant groups.

In the Vatican's view, several Protestant churches have drifted away from common ground by ordaining women as priests and bishops or blessing same-sex marriages.

"We have divided the one path into many, so the witness we should give has been obscured," Benedict told the German-speaking congregation, which his predecessor John Paul II visited in 1983, in their common native tongue."

The above bold statement is true, they have divided the one path into many! The ONE WAY is only found in scripture. The only way found in scripture is Acts 2:38

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

When protestantism began, its leaders were almost exclusively Roman priests defecting for revealed truth. They took with them Roman Catholic traditions...sprinkling for baptism, trinity formula in baptism.

A harlot is a woman who assumes intimate privileges only allowed to a bride. The great Harlot church, as understood by those same protestant pioneers was the Roman Catholic Church. What they didn't understand was the part that calls her the "Mother of Harlots". What makes the true church the bride is that we have taken the name of Christ upon ourselves in baptism.

Most protestant pastors seem to be completely taken by the RCC deception of a desired Unity!

The only Unity she desires is for all to under her thumb. Watch! And Pray!
