My bride is Catholic, and when we were dating (in Lincoln, Nebraska, a very conservative spot for both groups) she told her priest that she was dating a LCMS Lutheran.
He smiled and said “Well he should be very conservative, probably more than you are used to, but that will be all right.”
The sad thing is that there are a lot of CINO’s (many Catholic Freepers talk of them often) who are very nutty.
Lincoln has that very conservative bishop. I don’t recall his name. His conservatism is so unique among Catholics that he gets publicity because of it. I admire him very much.
