Just a tongue in cheek description of an overly rigid Catholic attitude towards non-Catholics, circa 1964. Actually, my sophomore year world history teacher, who was a Roman Catholic cleric, was a big fan of Marin Luther. He admits that the Roman Church ultimately agreed with Luther’s major critisms and adopted most of his reforms.

Marin Luther.

The famous theologian who lives just north of San Fransisco?

"He admits that the Roman Church ultimately agreed with Luther’s major critisms and adopted most of his reforms."

That is what confused me by that comment....I've attended many Catholic and Lutheran services....and much of what I hear is pretty much the same...I guess that shouldn't be surprising given that Luther was a Cathlic monk....

My assumption was that you were going to state that the Evangelicals have become much more liberal in their interpetations of the articles of faith....

I should admit...I am a Lutheran, Missouri Synod...a conservative based sect...and I for one have become very concerned where the Church is moving...it appears PC and liberalism may one day, if not already, lead many astray from the basic points of faith that were communicated by Luther after his review of the Bible......
