I find this highly unlikely given that Lutherans, at last the LCMS, believe that the pope is an antichrist.

No, I don’t find it very likely either. But that’s the price of Roman co-communion.

You can fudge just about everything else, even the doctrines behind Holy Communion itself but not church hierarchy.

**LCMS, believe that the pope is an antichrist**

Where are you getting this misinformation?

[MinuteGal]

I'm baptized, confirmed LCMS and have never heard that sentiment in my life. Where on earth did you come up with such a canard?

The pontiffs engender great respect among contemporary Missouri Synod Lutherans......and undoubtedly among most other Christians in the civilized countries.
