Speaking as an LCMS member, it is frightening how liberal LCMS has become.
Where does this leave a conservative Protestant who seeks a liturgical, confessional, orthodox church? So far as I can tell, only the Greek Orthodox or Catholics are viable options. I see the ELCA as being only about 10 years ahead of the LCMS. I see women pastors, same-sex "blessings", and the whole ELCA mess coming to the LCMS just a few years down the road.
Oh well, I like this Pope...
