Catholic theology on justification changing

Charles Colson says in Christianity Today, that the Pope has signaled he believes in justification by faith, as Martin Luther advocated in launching the Reformation. In coming years, this should lead to teaching the doctrine throughout the Roman Catholic Church.

Pope Benedict on November 19 in what was otherwise a routine audience in St. Peter's square, gave a homily on justification and fully embraced the position that Evangelicals and Catholics Together had taken [in the 1997 document, "Gift of Salvation"]. He didn't identify it as such, but that's what he did.
Eleven years after that document was written, the Pope, the head of the church, concluded his homily by saying Luther was right, so long as you don't exclude charity, that is love, and the works that flow from love. Which of course none of us does.

Praise the Lord for this impact of the group "Evangelicals and Catholics Together." It was out of their dialogue that the teaching began spreading among Catholic leaders, including being adopted and passed on by the Pope, who was then an Augustinian Cardinal. Good things often happen when we join others in partnership.
