...enormous presence of the Wittenberg rebel, the sheer force of his personality, still broods over all Christendom, not just Lutheranism. Although Luther declared that the Roman Pontiffs were the "Antichrist," today's Pope, in an anniversary tip of the zucchetto, mildly speaks of Luther as "the reformer." Ecumenical-minded Catholic theologians have come to rank Luther in importance with Augustine and Aquinas. "No one who came after Luther could match him," says Father Peter Manns, a Catholic theologian in Mainz. "On the question of truth, Luther is a lifesaver for Christians."

But his oratory and leadership inspired a mere 60 protesters to join him in waving signs and Bibles at the papal motorcade. For weeks Paisley had insisted that "anyone blessed by the Pope is cursed." When John Paul II spotted the knot of angry dissenters on a side street, he turned and, with a smile, coolly bestowed...
...sights, the paralyzing winter, and the ever-present threat of loneliness and boredom that can drive a quiet little clergyman to publish a newsletter containing the sentence, "And what this INSANE crypto-Jewish riff-raff has planned for Homer and its citizens is no less than what the same antichrist Jewish riff-raff did to Russia.
