关于称义教义的联合声明

关于称义教义的联合声明》(英语:Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification,JDDJ),也称《有关成义教义的联合声明》、《因信称义联合声明》,是一份由天主教会世界信义宗联会英语Lutheran World Federation于1999年正式签署的一份声明。该联合声明宣称双方教会对“通过对基督信念,凭借恩典称义”这一观点的一致[1]

签署双方认为,声明基本上解决了对于称义本质认识的争议,而这一争议正是宗教改革的基础。至于另外两大国际性信义宗组织,包括国际路德会世界路德宗认信联会,则对《因信称义联合声明》普遍持否定态度,[2]认为声明内容含糊不清,[3]签署双方实际上只是各说各话,严格来说不算是一份“协定”。[4][5][6]

在2006年,世界循道卫理宗协会英语World Methodist Council投票决定采纳JDDJ。2016年,普世圣公宗咨议会发表欢迎和肯认JDDJ重要性的声明。2017年,世界改革宗联会英语World Communion of Reformed Churches投票决定采纳JDDJ。[7]

Some Lutherans have rejected the agreement, including the International Lutheran Council and the Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference. On the Catholic side, the Vatican’s approval remains officially binding, but enthusiasm varies."

The biblical Lutheran teaching of “forensic” justification maintains that the only effective cause of our forgiveness is a verdict of God that takes place outside of ourselves. We are declared “not guilty” entirely on the basis of what Christ has done for us. Catholic teaching on justification makes a change within man part of the cause of our forgiveness. The Joint Declaration does not represent a change in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. It does nothing to repudiate Rome’s historic position on the doctrine. The Joint Declaration is nothing more than an ambiguous statement, carefully worded to make it possible for the Pope’s representatives to sign it without changing, retracting, or correcting anything that has been taught by the Roman Catholic Church since the time of the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century. The Joint Declaration is a compromise. It masquerades as a significant change which brings Roman Catholicism in line with confessional Lutheranism on the teaching of justification. In fact, it is a deception that presents the appearance of agreement without any real substance that would make agreement possible. It is a thinly veiled attempt on the part of ecumenicism to embrace Catholicism. In the final analysis it appears that Rome has moved closer to reattaching what was lost in the sixteenth century without any substantive change in its doctrinal position.

That's not a real agreement. That's an agreement to disagree--on the teaching by which, as the Reformers said, 'the church stands or falls.' In truth, we are still back to where we started on Oct. 31, 1517. The Pope has made it clear. It's a question of indulgences--again"
