Interesting observations on your visit. I recently spent a fair amount of time corresponding with a Roman Catholic and it became clear that the issue of authority (Rome or Scripture) is still paramount on a range of issues.<br />I look forward to further entries.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707181627588121525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-89669532700598425812012-07-09T20:05:59.953-05:002012-07-09T20:05:59.953-05:00Thanks for the kind words.

I would just like to say, as a Catholic and not from the Church you attended, that I would expect my Catholic brothers and sisters to welcome you wholeheartedly as our sister in Christ. There are many ecumenical endeavors that have taken place to bring us into dialogue with one another and they are becoming more mainstream but despite that our faith moves us to welcome the stranger at our door. So I send you this welcome. <br /><br />I am a Catholic chaplain and am just a few credits away from receiving my Masters in Theology. I feel I have been blessed with the opportunity to have made available to me educational materials that have helped me to understand how much the Catholic and Lutheran churches have moved towards being Church with one another. Yes, we still are not in "communion" with each other and that is an important difference worthy of respect and continued conversation but we have formally for the world recognized each other's baptisms and that through the grace of our loving God. So, once again, welcome, welcome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547274407624491985noreply@blogger.com
