“Even by a conservative reckoning,” pointed out to me by an Augustinian. “Of those 95 Lutheran brother M, we have adapted at least 80 some corrections... why do you not admit that you’re in fact a Catholic at heart?”
He made me surrender a smile. He was a great God fearing man... as so many of the Roman catholic brothers and sisters actually are.
The current pope... has a different vibe entirely.
