‘Put behind prejudice, forgive past sins,’ Pope on Lutheran Reformation

Pope Francis greets Norbertine Father Bernard Ardura, president of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences, March 31 at the Vatican. The pope met with scholars taking part in a Vatican-sponsored congress on the Lutheran Reformation as part of the 500th anniversary commemorating the start of Luther's call for reform.

VATICAN CITY – Serious research on Martin Luther can help heal relations between Catholics and Protestants, highlight what was legitimate about the Reformation and pinpoint the errors and sins that led to the division of the church, Pope Francis said.
