When William of Ockham introduced the world to the most dangerous idea ever conceived. Nominalism.

I'm fine with removing it as long as we get a different federal holiday. Columbus was not a great guy.

And they were rushing the executions in order to beat an expiration date on the poison they were using. What a sad commentary on our culture.

Crucifix.

I've never heard of "throwing away" the elements. But many Lutherans hold to a usus view of the sacraments. That is from the Formula of Concord, there is no sacrament outside of the use of a sacrament. The use of the sacrament of the Eucharist is "consecrate distribute receive". Outside of...

Congratulations and welcome home.

And here I am planning what type of beer to serve at my 500 Reformation Aniversary party.

IIRC, the priest he accused of molesting him was later convicted of molesting 9 other children. I think it's likely true.

Duterte was molested by a priest when he was a kid. That explains his rage against the RC church and the world and his "kill all the bad guys" mentality.

I don't have an objection. I mean, I wouldn't join it but if the RC church wanted to set one up, I would defintely read up on it.

Right. That's why there's won't be a Lutheran ordinariate. The Lutherans who are close to the RC morally are far away theologically. The Lutherans who love to hobnobb with Rome are the ones who are far from Rome morally. The Anglicans who joined the ordinariate were close to Rome...

The teach corrupted gospel but they still have the sacraments.

What book?

Sure. It's not really much worse than many things medieval Catholics wrote about Jews, such as Hebraeorum Gens which Pius V wrote when expelling the Jews from the Papal States. Anyway, we Lutherans reject those writings (as Catholics today reject Pius V's writing on the Jews and rightLy so)...

If he or she wants to post the source for where they got the quotes it would be easy to verify if they are authentic or not. The internet, especially catholic apologetics websites are loaded with out of context, and fabricated Luther quotes. That's not really dishonest because there is...

Are you aware that anyone can write anything they want on the internet and call it "facts"?

Can't be sure without the citations. Many online Luther quotes are misquoted, out of context, or downright fabrications.

I hold to the Perpetual Virginity like Luther and Chemnitz did. I see no need to make it an article of faith though.

That's not what your past few popes have been saying about my hero. I think they would know more than you, right?
