I may check that book out, tho I have a lotta books on my shelf that I have yet to read.
I know that Luther started out Catholic, but you can't deny that he abandoned the Catholic Church. By an already existing definition (thanks to the schism with the Orthodox Church), a Catholic would recognize at least partial authority of the Church in Rome. He also started out more tolerant of Jews, from what I read earlier this year.
It hadn't occurred to me that "Israeli" applied strictly to people from the political nation rather than to the tribe. Thanks for the reminder.
From what the paper tells me in brief, Emmerich is getting beatified not for her visions of, among other things, devils talking among Jews (which would not be unique to that culture) but for her general virtue in life, as evidenced by her persistence in the face of persecution.
