Pope John Paul II urges Catholic Lutheran unity during historic visit
In Rome the pope attended a Lutheran service, saying he desires unity and ecumenical dialogue with Lutherans during the Advent season. He spoke in German, noted Martin Luther's 500th birth anniversary, and joined Pastor Christoph Meyer in a shared prayer for Christian unity. The visit, first of its kind for a pope at a Protestant church in his own diocese, drew Protestant controversy.
