CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION

This is the first episode in our new series, "Setting the Record Straight: The Truth vs. Anti-Catholic Myths," in which we will refute various anti-Catholic myths, and share eye-opening accounts that paint an entirely different picture of the Catholic Church than we are often given.

In this first installment, we cover a largely unknown story of a Pope who not only repented of the sins of priests and Popes at the very beginning of the protestant "reformation," but also provided a stunningly accurate and prophetic warning about where Luther's errors would lead. When I first heard this story as a protestant, I was shocked. I never knew a Catholic Pope, amidst the heat of the "reformation," had shown such transparent humility. It showed me a side of the Catholic Church I never knew, and was certainly never told about. In addition, the Pope's warnings about where Luther's principles would lead rang uncomfortably true with my experience as a protestant.

This story will help refute two comment protestant assertions: that the Catholic Church was unrepentantly corrupt, and that Luther's principles were an attempt at "reform" rather than a revolution.
