Pon the day 499 years after Martin Luther posted his 50 theses, pope Francis landed in Sweden. After hundreds of years of mistrust hope the two churches begin to look forward instead of backward. The place for reconciliation is a Lund influenced by the religious, but also police, presence.

Lund goes in påvefeber. today, it is 499 years ago Martin Luther, the parish priest in the German Wittenberg, published his 95 theses. They are widely regarded as the introduction to the reformation came to divide the church and who constituted the ideological superstructure to the bloody war in the 1600s in decades devastated large parts of Central europe.
A giant big screen waiting to reflect försoningsgudstjänsten that in the afternoon takes place in the cathedral. Kravallstaket lining the streets of the city centre and the whole of Lundagård, it is internal, the area around the old university campus, has been hidden behind the tall fences covered with green tarps. Where behind is säkerhetspådraget high.
last night patrolled a group of k-pistutrustade police area, while a large group jointly went through what was in something that visually resembled a military drill outside the officersskolan Karlberg.
the City hotel room is booked of the media representatives which are rarely seen at the Swedish events, as Radio Vatican, the anglican church magazine, and several representatives of the German Evangelisch.de. At the Grand Hotel glowed several red shirts with high collars, characteristic bishop’s rank, up around the breakfast buffet. The conversation revolved about ecclesiastical things, as if Zimbabwe’s inflation, and whether there are any lions left in Africa.
Why start this reformation 500 anniversary just in the small Lund? 50 years ago founded the Lutheran world federation in the city. 50 years of ecumenical dialogue between lutherans and catholics has created a trust after hundreds of years of mistrust. Now hope they both kyrkotraditionerna stop looking backwards and instead look forward to the future.
Long was the reformation and the pope each other’s opposites. Now we see that there is a deep spiritual connection between the reformation and the catholic heritage. I see this as a very important meeting in the world, ” says Anders Arborelius, the sole catholic bishop of Stockholm, and the Swedish pin.
the event Itself "From conflict to communion" with the Lutheran world federation and the Swedish church, as hosts, going in three acts. The first is a inledningsevent that is now going on at the Malmö Arena, while the pope and his entourage are on their way to lärdomsstaden. Act two begins with the pope greeting the king and queen, whereupon a försoningsgudstjänst celebreras in the 900-year-old cathedral in English, German and Spanish, pope Francis, José Maria Bergoglios, language.
Later in the afternoon the catholic church, the leaders of the minibus back to the Malmö Arena, where act three takes.
Actually wanted to be pope Francis, after this, immediately go back to Rome to celebrate the catholic All saints ‘ day, which falls on 1 november. Now entering he in instead the for the catholics important day with a mass at the Swedbank Stadion in Malmö, sweden. "In order to satisfy the wishes from the Danish and Swedish catholics to celebrate a joint mass with pope Francis."
Many are the believers bussats to the gråkalla Tuesday morning in Malmö. Also I have a ticket. "Doors open from 06: 30," it says. The fair itself begins at 09.30.
the Pope at the Swedbank stadium, huh? The profane capitalism’s penchant to paste their brand of tax-funded public infrastructure jars rarely so false as this. Say a prayer for all the up over the ears in debt also.
