The two leaders appeared to single out married couples where one partner is Catholic and the other Lutheran.

One of my great-grandmothers was Lutheran. The Catholic Church always treated her like crap. Despite the fact that she married in the Catholic Church and raised her kids Catholic. The tales of petty humiliations foisted on her by the Church are the stuff of legend in my family.

What stopped your great-grandmother from converting to Catholciism? Is that in your “legend”?

I was Lutheran, crossed the Tiber, and became the Pariah of my German Lutheran Family. More backlash than if I had been arrested for bank robbery, and sent to Prison.
