Hey, are folks Lutheran bashing here?

Lutherans? No. Luther...well, not exactly bashing, just pointing out the untruths that he spread about Catholicism, namely on the subjects of relics and indulgences. Please read through the thread and see what the church REALLY teaches on those subjects.

Welcome Rummy! This thread is a take off of a previous thread where some not so nice things were said about medieval relics. It was started to list some of those "relics" that the a church in Germany claimed to have at one time, claims that for the most part were local fabrications.

It kind of got out of hand. I tried to interject a few times, but didn't feel like slinging to much mud. Desdemona is usually pretty calm, but drstevej hit a nerve.

Glad you found a good LCMS church! The LCMS is not with out its problems, but I call it home. They have resisted a lot of the modernism that plagues many other denominations (and the Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox in areas) but there is some starting to creep in.

Don't let the group here in the FR back room scare you to much.
