I was a little disappointed in the Lutherans; (I believe it was them) at the interfaith ceremony after 9/11, they disciplined the Lutheran priest who had the audacity to appear with other clergy, which might lead people to think any other religions had validity.
Doesn’t sound like any Lutherans I know, except maybe Missouri Synod. On the other hand, the corporate media’s “go to” for Protestant views for ages was Martin Marty – a Missouri Synod theologian, and hardly doctrinaire. Sounds more like Southern Baptist or Roman Catholic, although there are enough exceptions even there. Please provide citations next time. As an ecumaniac Methodist, I would like to know.
As it was explained in my hearing ca 30 y.a., Missouri Synod Lutherans’ ancestors mostly emigrated from Germany, where the Reformation was largely a grass-roots rejection of Roman Catholicism. Hence they’re more like the more Calvinist Protestants, e.g. Baptists. ELCA Lutherans like myself are mostly Scandinavians, whose early Reformation was more like England’s – the king simply said, “We don’t owe allegiance to the Pope anymore,” and little else changed. Lutheran theology filtered in later.
At home I have a link to read the joint statement of what both Roman Catholics and Lutherans hold to be true.
Not happenin’ under Francis’ watch, NOPE!, NO WAY, Unh Unh, Not goin’ to happen, in your dreams, poop in one hand and make that wish in the other……………………

Not to mention the whole thing with indulgences, “icons”, what the Virgin Mary’s actual role is….

All they have to do is unite first as Lutherans.
