This is to help reduce the bickering, catholic-bashing, and name-calling that is prevalent among christians.

We need to look at the 'Joint Declaration on Justification' signed by the Catholics and Lutherans in 1999; and later adopted by the Methodists.

Remember that the Lutherans are disciples of Martin Luther.
The Methodists arose from another epoch.

They are both  beginning to see the light dimly.

Happy reading / meditation.
