Some ecumenical friction in Germany, reports ZEIT-online<\/a>. Nikolaus Schneider, head of the Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland (Protestant Church in Germany), \u201ccannot accept that Rome sets standards for what is Church and what isn\u2019t.\u201d Schnedier said, \u201cThe Pope and bishops are not entitled to that, only Christ is.\u201d The Pope should not \u201cbe confused with the Lord of the Church himself.\u201d The Vatican does not consider Protestants to be a church in its official documents.<\/p>\n

Schneider invites Catholics to celebrate the jubilee of the Reformation with Protestants in 2017. \u201cIt would be a wonderful image if the Pope would find a way to celebrate the Reformation jubilee with us,\u201d he said. So far the Vatican has been critical of the jubilee celebration. Cardinal Kurt Koch said in April that the Reformation is no occasion for celebration, for the Catholic Church cannot celebrate a sin. Schneider rejected this criticism as \u201ccompletely inappropriate\u201d and said that \u201cthe Reformation was a necessary process of renewal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
