Wisconsin Synod (WELS) is perhaps the most conservative Lutheran body in America. Luther himself identified the "papacy" as the antichrist, and that was never recanted. The problem is that self-absorbed would-be big-shots like Fournier see this and think in terms of Hollywood movies, not the realities faced by Luther.

Honest Catholics who also know their history understand that the Papacy had becom a worldly corrupt institution, little concerned with anything but enrichment and power. When the pope excommunicated Luther and put a price on his head, simply for trusting scripture more than a gaggle of fraudulent cardinals, he earned a little payback. Whether any WELS member believes this today seems to be of historic interest only. I thought we got past this shit with Jack Kennedy, but I guess not.

Ah, but you forget. In the United States Catholics are an "oppressed minority." That means they can only be victims of "prejudice" and never practitioners of it.
