Skeletons From the Reformers Past Uncovered In Germany
Of course, the bones weren’t of the Anabaptists who were murdered, or rather ‘executed’, but others; however, it does help to remind us in the West of our trouble past with freedom of religion:
On Dec. 4, 1529, seven Anabaptists were sentenced to death by sword “due to the error of rebaptism,” and the executions were carried out three days later Dec. 7. They were the uncompromising core of an original 40 Wiedertäufer “rebaptizers” — half of whom were women — who were arrested for both “hidden preaching” and the more serious offense of unauthorized assembly.

Christ did not die for the sins of the people
FREIBURG, Germany April 21, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – According to the chairman of the Catholic bishops’ conference of Germany, the death of Jesus Christ was not a redemptive act of God to liberate human beings from the bondage of sin and open the gates of heaven. The Archbishop of Freiburg, Robert Zollitsch, known for his liberal views, publicly denied the fundamental Christian dogma of the sacrificial nature of Christ’s death in a recent interview with a German television station.
Zollitsch said that Christ “did not die for the sins of the people as if God had provided a sacrificial offering, like a scapegoat.”
Instead, Jesus had offered only “solidarity” with the poor and suffering. Zollitsch said “that is this great perspective, this tremendous solidarity.”
The interviewer asked, “You would now no longer describe it in such a way that God gave his own son, because we humans were so sinful? You would no longer describe it like this?”
Monsignor Zollitsch responded, “No.“

I have found myself really coming to like these types of posts. It allows me to say more with less. After all, the best commentary to this world is actions that we see.
