...religious wars and dozens of denominational splits later--Edward Cardinal Cassidy announced Vatican approval, with some caveats, of a Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, toward which Catholic and Lutheran theologians have been toiling since 1967. Some of the Vatican's fine print was shockingly critical of the text, but it let stand without objection the Declaration's grandest statement: "Together we confess: By grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping...
