"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......

My Catholic high school was and is surrounded on three sides by a Lutheran Cemetery (where the funereal scene from Rosemary's Baby was filmed, also some of the cemetery scenes from U.S. Marshalls. It's also the final resting place of many of the victims of the General Slocum disaster. When I was there there was an old church with a beautiful organ on the top of a hill above our un-air-conditioned school. When the windows were open, you could hear the organist practicing Hayden and other majestic Lutheran hymns. The Lutherans were a much bigger threat than the Muslims, believe me.
