Summary/Abstract: In the year 2013 the International Lutheran-Roman Catholic Com-mission on Unity has produced its report, titled “From Conflict to Communion: Lutheran-Catholic Common Commemoration of the Refor-mation in 2017”. This is the first centenary commemoration of the Reformation marked by a real desire of the Catholics and Protestants as well to come together for its observance. The article describes the way to this very important common testimony. A very important sign of the Catholics’ recognition of Luther’s faith was the word of the second President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Cardinal Johannes Willebrands, in his keynote address at the 5th Assembly of the Lutheran World Federation at Evian-les-Bains. The culmination of the relationship was that Catholics and Lutherans gathered in Lund on 31th October 2016 to mark commemoration of the Reformation. The milestone on the way to this celebration was the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification signed in Augsburg 1999. The document From Conflict to Communion concludes the common way of Lutherans and Catholics in the last 50 years.
