Thank you, Cronos, for a level headed approach. I saw an article about this yesterday and I forget where it was published. So what, it was obvious the author was trying to stir up trouble.

If the WELS thinks the papacy is the anti-Christ, the Catholic church also teaches that all non-Catholics are going to hell as one cannot be saved unless a Catholic.

We have differences of opinion, that doesn't mean we despise each other. For those who stop and think about this, it needs to be disregarded.

Quite frankly cgg, I don't even want to discuss what our churches have written down in small print -- we don't hear sermons at the pulpit that rail on either side, do we?

As red put it correctly -- there is no active bashing.

more importantly: the lib writer who brought this up doesn't really care what the WELS thinks about Catholics or vice-versa.

I doubt he even really cares what either Church teaches at all -- he just wants to disrupt Michele's candidacy.

As a Catholic I would be distressed if we even discussed this aspect wrt Michele's candidacy. It is a non-issue about Michele.

We can discuss this separately on a separate context, but to discuss this in ANY context with Michele is succumbing to the left's dividing tactics.

You are very much misinformed on that point.
