I think the concern is over the possibility that some might mistake Catholicism for Lutheranism or Christianity.

Is it ever possible for you to post without being offensive? But I'm impressed: you managed to imply in one post that neither Lutherans nor Catholics are Christians, thus offending both at once.

Ok, Camp, I'll bite. But with a question:

Let's say I decide to follow a religion I'll call "A" for a moment, then follow also a religion/philosophy I'll call "B" for a moment. Which Am I following when A=Christianity and B=Satanism. Take your time.

Christian scripture states plainly that you can't serve two masters. If you're following Christianity and some other philosophy at the same time, you're attempting to do what scripture plainly says you cannot - and with the predicted consequences of preferring one master over the other. Thus, you serve Catholic philosophy or Christian tenets. In the other instance, one can follow Christianity or Lutheran philosophy. But to kid people that the two are one in the same is disengenouos. If you choose to be offended by a tenet of the religion you claim to represent, I'm neither surprised nor bothered.

As for my intent, I think it was plain in telling people that if they are truly bothered, don't attend. I think axiomatically that would include not "tuning in". It has worked with the MSM to a large extent - if you don't wish to support it - don't. How difficult is it.

Now, off with you. Go look for martyrdome someplace legitimate.
