Honestly, whether Pope Benedict rescinds Martin Luther's excommunication or not really doesn't matter a whit. We never considered it worthwhile anyway.

Exsurge Burnay!
Thanks, brother. Too many Reformed people don't see what their confessional standards teach. I am encouraged that the MO Synod still regards this. We should remember that Benedict or Ratsinger is not the first pope to have rescinded Luther's excommunication. Others like Paul the sixth made similar statements. It is all smoke and mirrors brothers and sisters.
