Didn't this all happen 'bout ten years ago already ...

"That Martin Luther? He wasn't so bad, says Pope" - The Times, 3/6/08:
Pope Benedict XVI is to rehabilitate Martin Luther, arguing that he did not intend to split Christianity but only to purge the Church of corrupt practices.

Luther was excommunicated by Pope Leo X, who dismissed him initially as “a drunken German who will change his mind when sober”.

Is LaHaye right: he should have taken the name "Peter II"? Or is the press taking liberties (Armstong's comment)?
