There is no reconciling Lutheranism and Catholicism. Lutheran theology is radically opposed to Catholicism. Talk of eventual reunification is naive and a waste of time. There is only one true way to reunite Lutherans with the Catholic Church. Lutherans as individuals must convert to the true faith established by Christ Himself--The Catholic Faith.

Lutheranism represents a grave heresy that has done inestimable damage to the church. Pretending that this heretical body deserves continued  "dialogue" serves only to  lend credibility to error. Rather than wasting time trying to reunite, the Catholic Church should do what it has always done--intensify its efforts to preach the Gospel and build God's kingdom on earth. Christ will do what he will to those who have  separated from His church, in his own way and in his own time.
