Doctrine simply doesn't matter in the Conciliar Church......

And this is what the SSPX wants to come to an agreement with?

Pope Francis’ visit to Lund, Sweden, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation will comprise “two parts” and will begin with a “common prayer” service in Lund's Lutheran cathedral and continue with a public event at Malmö Arena that will be open to wider participation, Vatican and Lutheran leaders have announced.

In a joint statement issued today by the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, they reiterated that the Oct. 31 event will be centered on the themes of “thanksgiving, repentance and commitment to common witness".

It also said the overall aim of the ecuмenical event “is to express the gifts of the Reformation and ask forgiveness for division perpetuated by Christians from the two traditions.”

Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi was keen to stress that the entire program of the Holy Father’s trip to Sweden will be published at a later date, and will include a Mass with the Catholic community on the morning of November 1st.

The joint statement said Pope Francis, LWF president Bishop Munib A. Younan and LWF General Secretary Rev. Martin Junge will lead the common prayer service in Lund's Lutheran cathedral and the event in Malmö in cooperation with leaders from Church of Sweden and the Catholic diocese of Stockholm.

One of the highlights of the Malmö event, it added, will be a feature on the joint work of LWF World Service and Caritas Internationalis, covering the areas of “care for refugees, peacebuilding, and advocacy for climate justice.”

Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, said that by concentrating together on the centrality of the question of God and on “a Christocentric approach,” Lutherans and Catholics will have the possibility of “an ecuмenical commemoration of the Reformation, not simply in a pragmatic way, but in the deep sense of faith in the crucified and resurrected Christ.”

Bishop Anders Arborelius of the Catholic diocese of Stockholm said "history will be written when Pope Francis and the LWF leaders visit Lund and Malmö to encourage all of us to go further on the road towards Christian unity.”

Lutheran leaders Younan and Junge said: “There is power when communities find their way out of conflict. In Christ we are encouraged to serve together in this world. The joint commemoration is a witness to the love and hope we all have because of the grace of God."

“We look forward to this event which can gather up to 10,000 people," said archbishop Antje Jackélen of the Lutheran Church of Sweden. "The idea behind the arena event is to further describe the development from conflict to communion with a focus on hope for the future and common service in the world."

Earlier this year, the Lutheran World Federation and the Vatican issued a jointly prepared common prayer. The year 2017 will also mark 50 years of the international Lutheran-Catholic dialogue, which led to the 1999 Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification. The declaration effectively nullified centuries’ old disputes between Catholics and Lutherans over the basic truths of the doctrine of justification, which was at the center of the 16th century Reformation.

Pope Francis visited the Evangelical Lutheran church in Rome last autumn, during which he controversially appeared to suggest that a Lutheran married to a Catholic could receive holy Communion based on the fact that she is baptized and would be acting in accordance with her conscience.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, later said the Pope's words were misunderstood and that he was not opening the door to holy Communion for Lutherans.

Information on the Joint Ecuмenical Commemoration will be updated on the event website www.lund2016.net

I would be deeply grateful if a theologian could say if this abomination, this vile apostasy, is formal as well as plainly material heresy. Let no son of our dear Mother the Church excuse, pity or claim the name of Christian for the spawn of Luther the traitor and apostate, the lecher, blasphemer, mocker of the Church, of the Seven Divine Sacraments, each a fountain of graces, pure gold and beautiful passing our understanding, of Mary our Queen , Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix -- what disgusting blasphemy to put the least spot on that great pillar of silver and marble and shining in splendour, to foully impute filth to that Star of the Sea.

This foul German mocked the Vicar of Christ who sat on the Throne of Peter and dared to claim that the Immaculate Bride of Christ was the whore of the Apocalypse. He led millions to Hell with his vile lies about 'justification by faith's -- never did more presumption spew from human lips -- and 'sola scriptura' -- a profane and ludicrous lie.

This traitor monk dared to lie about and profane the Sanctissimum, the All-Holy God which all creation adores -- think of the sweet Body of Christ and His sacred Blood scattered and vilely profaned, the sacred relics of God and his Saints, the holy silk and blest cloth and sacred candles and statues smashed, burned or flung on a midden!

This vermin, this reprobate deserved a death by every torment imaginable and perpetual torment in Hell which now he rightfully screams under as he so well deserves -- St Thomas Aquinas states that the torments of the damned give bliss to the blessed as they see the imperishable Wrath and pure Justice of God. So do all his sons.

There is a brief compilation of vile Lutheran quotes with an Imprimatur I shall try to find.

It is some time since I last read this so I must warn against liberalism under heading 5

Matthew, please merge this into above

AVOID Heading V which excuses the filth of Jєωry and parrots the vile lie of religious freedom. An expurgated edition would however carry merit in my mind.
