1517:The Protestant Revolution? Old Time Religion
-
- Kristendom
For many Protestants, October is "Reformation Month." How should we regard that period? What good, if any, can come from a 500 year old protest movement? Why should it matter to those of us for whom conversion to Rome holds as much allure as the prospect of a root canal? Maybe more than you think. It is possible that by reacting against your Protestant forebears, you have fallen backward into the Tiber and the current has already carried you halfway to Popeville, Italy. So, what will it be? Semper reformanda, or "Buongiorno, Papa?"
