America’s first major denominational transgender bishop, professing to be a “they,” was consecrated in San Francisco this past Saturday amid religious and political officials in a hyper politically correct rite claiming precedent with biblical eunuchs.

This transgender bishop signifies liberal Protestantism’s ongoing rejection of not just traditional Christian sexual teachings but also of physical reality, as part of God’s created order, to be replaced with the primacy of self-created identity.

The Rev. Dr. Megan Marie Rohrer was installed on September 11 as the fifth bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s (ELCA) San Francisco-based Sierra Pacific Synod. The synod includes 200 congregations across northern California and northern Nevada.

The ELCA remains the largest Lutheran body in North America at 3.26 million members, despite shedding more than 1 million members — or 25% of membership — across the last reporting decade, down from 5,288,048 members at the denomination’s founding in 1987.

No, actually, I'm afraid it's an old thing; a very, very old thing.

Satan deluded Eve in the Garden with his alternative realities and lies; this is exactly, precisely the same thing.

Where the good "bishop" got the idea that this was something new is beyond me. Sinful self-delusion---through the manipulation of the spirit of this world---is about the oldest thing out there.

That ancestral part of me that was Lutheran is profoundly relieved to be Catholic. My mother grew up Lutheran, where dancing and cards were banned as too worldly. Through multiple mergers her version of Lutheran ended up ELCA.

And in the 1970's and 1980's we all had such high hopes of unity between Lutherans and Catholics. Where did that go? It sure is gone now.
