In another place, Luther said:
Quote:
Since the Pope is a heretic, an idolater, Antichrist, and the red whore reeking with the blood of the pious, therefore we will not admit him to our presence...In fine, to make a treaty between us and the Pope, is to make a treaty between God and Belial. Nothing will come of it...
Something tells me Martin Luther wouldn't be impressed with Pope Benedict's words.
