It doesn't matter. What matter is, the Pope came back to Luthers teachings.
The Catholic Church has been accused of depending on works to get to heaven, however, scores of headlines several months ago where Pope John Paul II said the only way is through Jesus and His precious shed Blood, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Now, to do away with all suspicion about the Catholic Church Believing in works, the Pope signed an agreement with the Lutheran federation of the world admitting that Luther was Right.
It is justification by faith alone. Romans 1:17. Not by works. But then the Pope added, I want to just say I don't believe we are saved by works, but I believe that when we are saved, the works will manifest. That is what we teach. We are saved by grace in Ephesians 2:8. We are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do the good works. Faith without works is dead James 2:20.
Are Catholics Christians? The fact is this, IF they are, ...they couldn't have been before Pope John Paul ll signed this 1 year before his death. They have spent 2003 + years as non christians according to the Pope himself.

Dang, I ought to know this... around 800 AD?
Lemme check wikipedia.
I think it's 1520 AD, but not positive even after viewing the article. Here's the link for yourself though.

It was about 1517. He separated because he didn't get what he wants and expects the Church to do for him. He's a rebel.
