‘…the pope came bearing important truths about the roots of our experiment in liberty, from which all Americans can benefit’ –Rich Lowry
The history of American liberty is rooted in the Protestant Reformers. Could it be that the ‘freewheeling Protestant nation’ discovered liberty as a result of the separation from the Catholic Church?
Are you saying that the pope is coming around to a Protestant view of church and state? Is he embracing the priesthood of the believer and the liberty of conscience? Are we no longer considered anathema that hold to the Augustinian gospel of grace alone and the authority of the Scriptures alone and the doctrine of justification by faith alone? Is this what you mean by rapprochement?
