Many faithful Catholics can legitimately ask themselves what has happened in the Church so that it has gone from affirming that Protestantism is the compendium of all the heresies that were before it, that have been after it and that can still be born to the ruin of souls. (Saint Pius X Catechism, 129) to affirm that the initiator of Protestantism is a witness of the gospel". Some of these faithful may believe that everything is the result of the confusion that has prevailed in the Church in recent years, and they are not without reason, but whoever believes that the facelift of the heresiarch Martin Luther is a mutation produced during the pontificate would be wrong of Francis. Eighteen years ago I left evangelical Protestantism to return to the Catholic Church. From that moment my faith went from depending on my personal interpretation of Scripture to being the Faith of the Church of Christ. A Faith that, today more than ever, needs to be defended from those who praise heresiarchs like Luther and want to plunge the Church into the dark waters of modernism and Protestantization. This book by Fr. Javier Olivera Ravasi serves to show us the real Luther, his consequences and his scope (from the Prologue).
