摘要

The influence that Protestantism had over German society up until the 19th century is difficult for the modern world to understand. During that time, almost all the educated elites were Protestants, and almost all national leaders endorsed anticatholic teachings. The so-called Kultur-kampf in the late 19th century entailed suppression of Roman Catholic doctrines and the elimination of anything related to Roman Catholic doctrines from public life. A shift occurred with the emergence of the ＂healing of memories,＂ which happened when German protestant churches were preparing for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017. The popularly used term ＂celebration of reform＂ was changed to ＂remembrance of reform.＂ During the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017, Catholic churches partnered with Protestant Churches to prepare for the celebrations. In the same year, a reconciliation service for Catholics and Protestants was held at Hildesheim in north Germany. The purpose of this service was to provide a chance for the churches to immerse themselves in the relevant history as well as to consciously emphasize that they had all originated from and were inseparably connected with this history. Through a jointly organized repentance service, both Catholics and Protestants could organize celebratory events for commemorating the Reformation. In addition, both parties were not only able to express the suffering they had experienced in the past, but also their joy of gospel.

直到十九世紀，德國受新教支配的程度，幾乎是今天無法想像的，所有教育精英份子幾乎都是新教徒，領導階層都抱持反天主教的思想。十九世紀末時，所謂的「文化鬥爭」就是嘗試全面打壓與天主教教義有關的一切，不讓它在公眾生活領域出現。這個現象在德國境內的新教教會準備宗教革命五百周年紀念時，非常意外地遇到「記憶醫治」而有所改變。從原本流傳的「慶祝宗教改革」一詞，變成「紀念宗教改革」。2017年慶祝宗教改革五百年周年活動，天主教開始成為籌備的夥伴。同年在德國北部的希爾德斯海姆（Hildesheim），舉行了一場天主教徒和新教徒的和好禮拜。這次禮拜讓各個教會有意識將自己置於過去的歷史中，強調自己來自這個歷史並且與之脫離不了關係。透過共同舉行的懺悔禮拜，雙方能共同舉行慶祝宗教改革的活動，而且雙方不僅說出了過去的痛苦，而且還特別說出了對福音的喜樂。
