		But candor compels one to recall that, sad to say, none other than the Pope himself has conducted interfaith worship services with pro-abortion non-Catholic clerics, such as the Archbishop of Canterbury and several Lutheran "bishops" from the pro-abortion Scandinavian branches of Luther’s false religion.
		For example, as CWNews.com reported on November 13, 1999: "Archbishops G.H. Hammar and Jukka Paarma — the Lutheran primates of Sweden and Finland, respectively — and Bishops Anders Arborelius of Stockholm and Czeslaw Kozon of Copenhagen joined with the Holy Father for the Vespers service.
		Several other Lutheran bishops from the Scandinavian countries were present for the ceremony, including two female bishops." And this travesty took place in Saint Peter’s Basilica itself.
