Thus few have been born again and thus they tend to vote more like Catholics.
All fte LCMS members I know have been born again and the LCMS is one of the more conservative voting blocks - more conservative in the pollsI have seen than just about any other denomination. Our synod president has recently written strong publications against abortion and gay marriage. You will not find gay clergy in the LCMS. I consider you a brother but you may wish to do some fact checking before you paint us with the catholic brush.
