text: Cardinal Yves Congar wrote an interesting essay, « Martin Luther, sa foi, sa réforme » (I do not know if it has been translated into English) that places Luther firmly within a well-established Catholic theological tradition. Oh, Congar disagrees with Luther on sola fide, saying that Luther overemphasizes faith, and did not really understand James 2, which Luther called "an epistle of straw". He also disagrees with Luther on the discipleship of all believers, but as a Catholic cleric, Congar can be expected to do so.
  
  Unfortunately, as Brother Bill points out, in Luther's day, both sides were more interested in scoring debating points than in understanding their opponents.
