Would a Lutheran Pastor know this answer? Or is this only of good and evil behind doors?

I think that would depend entirely on the Lutheran Pastor involved, NIKK. There very well could be some who know all about these machinations who remain on our side and the side of the Lord Christ.
I do not know, but I suspect that the course of ministerial training provided likely does not go into these questions we have been asking here about corruption of the Vatican. He might be highly well versed in other periods of corruption prior to the Reformation.
It is distressing, but I think a little bit earlier than Vatican II, in late 40’s and early 50’s this takeover process was launched against the Protestant arm of Christianity in the form of the World Council of Churches.
Many HIGHLY sincerely devoted Christian people bought the public line about what it was for, and lined up all their women’s church circles who busily worked hard to support the passage of their churches into the National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches. - which, in my view, are wolves in sheeps’ clothing. If you look at which Protestant churches have drifted into apostasy, I daresay you will find that their top church leadership was a signatory to WCC.
If I am not mistaken - and I could be - I believe certain sects such as the Baptists resisted joining, and remained Bible based to a very much larger degree. I have not read on the history of the Lutheran Church wrt to the WCC. A Lutheran Pastor could certainly provide that information.
I’m no authority here, but have done a little reading on why our churches have been so quiet in the face of assault, and this is the best response I can think of to your sincere question.
