You mean, like The Day That Will Live in Infamy, Dec. 7, 1941? When the Japanese were allowed to bomb Pearl Harbor. Japan is now a US ally.
Quote from: pocheThe Bolshevik revolution of October 1917—which helped usher in over seven decades of Communist rule in Russia—should be commemorated but not celebrated, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church said recently to other church leaders.“The thing is not to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the tragedy, but to remember this date consciously, accompanying it with deep reflections and sincere prayers, so that mistakes committed a hundred years ago should teach our nations not to make the same mistakes at the current stage of development,” said Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, according to an Interfax report.http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=30358I think this applies to Catholics and Martin Luther.If you read the docuмent you would see that this is not just a mutual acknowledgment of the history.Even in the small quote that marlelar gave, it says that Luther is a witness to the Gospel when we know that he most certainly is not. Then it says that after centuries of mutual condemnation etc... they will come together to commemorate, strongly implying that these divisions no longer exist. This is shown throughout the article by the many instances of praying together and acknowledgment that all the religions present are Christian. This is not Catholic.

If Luther is canonized this year, I wonder what that will say about the infallibility of canonizations.
