The report that the Pope is set to rehabilitate Martin Luther, which we blogged about recently, turns out to have been greatly exaggerated; indeed, not true. M.Z. Hemingway reconstructs the shoddy journalism behind how the story got started.

It’s much like the Christian Reformed Church’s conclusion that the extended answer to Q 80 of the Heidelberg Catechism didn’t “really” reflect Roman teaching. Upon closer investigation, it actually does because they have not actually changed substantially at any official level!
It took them three days to clear up the misunderstanding. The whole thing looks like a trial balloon to me.
