The Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) wishes to turn the celebrations of "500 Years of Reformation" into a common celebration of Christ with the Catholic Church.

In Germany, the country of the Reformation, a deep animosity divided Catholic and Protestant Christians up until a few decades ago.Luther began by criticizing the sale of indulgences, insisting that the Pope had no authority over purgatory and that the Catholic doctrine of the merits of the saints had no foundation in the gospel.The Protestant position, however, would come to incorporate doctrinal changes such as a complete reliance on Scripture as a source of proper belief (sola scriptura) and the belief that only faith, and not good deeds, bring salvation (sola fide).i am marrying a swedish guy and i will be moving to sweden in about 2 weeks, i know i could ask this at the local church or in sweden when i get there but it is really hard for me since i will be travelin on business the next few days but i would like to have some information in advance if possible.also do anyone know of a catholic couple retreat in sweden or anywhere in europe for that matter?
