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

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.

I am not trying to pick a fight, because I do have respect for the Catholic church (I have used the church's teaching to sort out the moral issue of homosexuality.) and I also thought that the pope's funeral was cool. But couldn't that money have been better spent on helping others.

Funny, I was raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran, took a trip to Rome in 1998 and converted to Catholicism. I actually like the hymns in the Catholic church better than those I remember from the Lutheran church.
