"So if the LCMS falls to the liberals, where does an LCMS member go? "

Welcome to Catholicism! The first AND original Christian "denomination".

I think that'd be out of the frying pan into the fire. I couldn't be part of a denomination that thinks I can add to grace by my works.

I do not understand how anyone can call the Catholic church conservative. I know many priests are so liberal they parrot the Democrat party line. They're not opposed to abortions. They believe in the redistribution of wealth. They have bought into the phony "peace" movement. You can't get any more liberal than many of the priests.

Being a very conservative LCMS (formerly ELCA), I will never attend a church where I do not hear the firm Word of God. Nor will I attend a church where the pastor thinks he's a Democrat for it indicates to me the pastor does not get the connection between his politics and his believes.

But Catholic being conservative? No. Not with any consistency.
