I have to post this every time another Lutheran synod goes over to the dark side. These liberal synods are only a part of the Lutheran denomination.

I am a lifelong Lutheran in the LCMS (Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod) which is holding firm in the faith of our fathers.

Those who are leaving the liberal synods should immediately join a LCMS congregation to remain on the light side.

I love the Catholic Church also, but the Lutherans have better hymns, LOL.

Hey, my Catholic hymnal has "Nun Danken wir Gott" and "A Mighty Fortress" and just about every Protestant hymn I can think of.

As a former Lutheran and now a Catholic I agree. ;o)

Leni:

I agree about the hymns. Why don't you come back to Rome and lend your song to us! :)

You are right about the hymns! Couldn't agree more!

Indeed the Lutherans by far have the best hymns of any church. However, the Catholics have two things going for them that the Lutherans do not. Gregorian chants, and the Catholic Church by far has the best visuals. You couldn't beat the pomp and circumstance of the Pope's funeral, and the ceremonies surrounding the election of a new Pope. So Lutherans have the corner on audio, and the Catholics have the corner on visual.

Gal, have you got that right! I love Lutheran hymnody!

But if you took the whole range of Catholic music, 20 centuries worth, I'd confidently challenge your best with our best...

Or even better, we could have a sacred music fest and praise God together til the rafters ring. I love to sing. Do you?

:^D
