thanks for that -- no, I've not noticed that they were specifically Lutheran theologians.

For one thing, he has in the past made an effort to understand what we truly believe, as opposed to the various black legends in most Catholic apologetics. -- aye and that's a legend for us all -- we think we know what someone else believes and then scold them for that!

Did they use filthy profanity?

You too should examine the log in your own eye.

Really? How so?

“...sometimes you have to have faith in your side, and you hold the position till you die...”

I hear you loud and clear, brother. Either way, I’m hoping he’s OK. He’s one of the Good Guys. It is a stunning development and not one I’d have ever expected.

You win. I was wrong.

Please forgive me.

I hate people like you.

Vermont: Thats what used to get all of the Soviet leaders too...that “ill health.”

and then vermont: I was not making fun, nor was I being disrespectful.

Well, Vermont, a wiser choice of words would have been better instead of a sentence attempting to compare him to a Soviet leader...so, yes, your statement was a provocation.

Have you never heard of anyone besides Soviet leaders resigning due to ill health?
