As I said, that's a topic for a religious discussion. It has no relevance whatsoever to Michele's political campaign. I doubt the WELS church ever preached this from this pulpit and Michele said she disagreed with it.

the main thing is that this is an attempt by the left to get Catholics and Lutherans to fight and they (the left) hope that this will kill Michele's chances.

Their ploy is obvious and even more obvious is the fact that this is working -- thanks Dr. Thorne, Ib - you've played into the left's hands.

Like fools we take this bait and start fighting when we should remember who is trying to get us to fight -- folks who want us to sit it out while Obambi gets re-elected

I agree with you 100%. Except insofar as this is not an attack by the left. This came from Deacon Fournier.

I think our Protestant friends here deserve to hear us Catholics say publicly why we think this argument is bunk.

I'm going to repeat what SoftballMominVA said on another thread

I am a member of the WELS church. My husband has been a member since birth, we have 3 ministers in our immediate family. In my 30 years of membership, I have never heard this mentioned. In his 55 years of membership, my husband has never heard it mentioned. Three ministers have never mentioned and did not even know about the statement until they were in seminary.

--> folks, fellow freepers, this is an attempt to divide us.

Fellow Catholics, Michele has said she disagrees with this statement, members of the WELS Church themselves say this is not even mentioned. This should be ignored by us

Catholic-hates who want to post their anti-Catholic barbs --> CONGRATULATIONS, you are working for the left now, each attack you make will only help the author of this hit-piece in his ploy to divide conservatives.
