Doubletalk as ecumenism
Kudos to Confessing Evangelical for this expose' of the fraudulent Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, signed several years ago by Roman Catholic theologians and representatives of the "Lutheran" World Federation.
That expose' links to a helpful FAQ on this deceitful document at the webpage of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, thus inspiring me to do the same.
Pope Benedict played a leading role in this dubious exercise in weasel-words and double-talk, quite possibly believing in all innocence that he was "meeting the Lutherans half-way" in his willingness to revise the language- though not the substance- of Trent's heretical doctrine of justification.
I wonder if he realized that the Lutheranism of the people with whom he was dealing was about as genuine as his own willingness to make actual concessions!
