The Catholic Luther


On this particular day in history, let us please recall that Father Martin Luther explicitly taught amongst other things:
1. The Real Bodily Presence of the True Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist.
2. The necessity of the Eucharistic liturgy, which he called the Mass.
3. The sacramental regeneration of the soul in infant Baptism by affusion. Rebaptism was forbidden and immersion was not required.
4. Confession and Absolution are a sacrament.
5. The Power of the Keys is inherent in the ordained ministry.
6. Our Lady is Ever-Virgin Mother of God.
