Over at The Daily Beast, I have a new article on the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation (“500 Years After Martin Luther, Does The Protestant Reformation Still Matter?“). Where is ecumenical dialogue today? Do old divisions still matter? What does Pope Francis have to say about it? Take a look:
“Majorities or pluralities of adults (including Catholics, Protestants and people with no religious affiliation) in all 15 countries surveyed across Western Europe say Catholics and Protestants today are ‘religiously more similar than they are different’,” says Pew’s study of Europe.
Likewise, in the U.S., approximately, 6-in-10 adults—57 percent of Protestants and 65 percent of Catholics—believe the two are “more similar than different, religiously.”
