The Roman Catholic church is more liberal than the LCMS. That is why friends and family that I know who let the ELCA have either gone to Catholic church or left church all together.
They said the Catholic church was “more accepting” of things like abnormal sexuality. Now, I now most of the Freepers here will disagree with me, but that is the reasons they list.
Most in the ELCA hate the LCMS and other synods, because we told them what was happening.
LCMS is liberal!? Where did you derive this?
