Here’s how today's “reconciliation” works: On the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation in 2017, Germany, Luther’s homeland, had a full-blown national holiday (Reformation Day, October 31). Chancellor Angela Merkel urged churches to “promote a narrative of unity over division.”
At the same time, Pope Francis joined leaders of the “Lutheran World
Federation” in Sweden to stress, “We have the opportunity to mend a critical
moment of our history by moving beyond the controversies and disagreements that
have often prevented us from understanding one another.”
Time Magazine
reported, “Not long after Francis’ address, the Protestant Archbishop of
Canterbury in England expressed remorse for the violence committed there in the
name of the Reformation. Hundreds of churches and monasteries were demolished
in the 1500s, and many people gruesomely killed, during England’s pained
transition from Catholicism to Protestantism.”

While Bible-believing Christians cheer on the nomination of card-carrying Catholic Amy Coney Barrett (who doesn't denounce anything about her church), evil forces vying for power and control today through the Catholic Church and its Jesuit arm are, to their advantage, relying on the human phenomenon known as “source amnesia,” which leads people to forget whether or not a statement is true.
“Even when a lie is presented with a disclaimer, people often later remember it as true,” informs a New York Times op-ed column on the subject. “With time, this misremembering only gets worse. A false statement from a non-credible source that is at first not believed can gain credibility during the months it takes to reprocess memories from short-term hippocampal storage to longer-term cortical storage. As the source is forgotten, the message and its implications gain strength.”
