Finally some True Ecumenism coming out of the Vatican, after a half century of failed false ecumenism.

The same issues that beset the Anglican Communion also apply to the Lutheran communities.

Ha! Up here, the Lutheran/Catholic split is similar to the race difference down South.
Actually, It does effectively separate the Swedes from the Germans.

few of the world's 75 million Lutherans seem interested in reunification with Rome. So ... what?
Do those many Lutherans who seem uninterested in reunification with "Rome" wish to stand in the way of the few that do? Are those many attempting to impose their interpretation of Scripture on the few?
Very interesting.

The liberal wing of the Lutheran denomination is terrified of this development. By respecting Lutheran pieties and yet reconciling with the Mother Church, it would seriously hasten the already precipitous decline of the ELCA.
To: NYer
Tough choice for Lutherans, between the discipline of the Catholic church and the gayness of the ELCA.

FYI, we dont sell indulgences anymore! That depends on how one defines "sell", and what the agreed-upon unit of exchange is.
A more accurate phrasing might be "FYI, we dont sell indulgences for coin anymore!"

>> The Vatican announced special structures for disaffected Anglicans in 2009, creating a so-called ordinariate so conservatives opposed to female and homosexual bishops could become Catholic while retaining some of their traditions.<
While retaining some of their traditions. Well, they do have a history of that dont they.
To: NYer
“raised suspicions among some Protestants that the Catholic Church, which makes up half the world’s 2.2 billion Christians, now wants to woo away believers from smaller churches torn by internal debate”
Ya think? I’d say that is pretty transparently their plan. Of course, the Protestant churches are playing right into their hands by continuing to liberalize their churches, thereby driving away the most faithful believers.
