In reply to patricia henneman.

Patricia,

The Lutheran Church is not "catholic lite." Rather, as we affirmed in an entire issue of The Lutheran Witness and as the Book of Concord regularly attests, the Lutheran confession of faith is the teaching of Scripture and therefore the teaching of the church of every age. The Roman Catholic church has deviated from this teaching and refused to be reformed when God called the church to repentance through Martin Luther in the 1500s.
