Reply #21: Oh, compared to the Catholic church it's progress [View All]

But then, any thinking beyond the medieval would be progress by that standard. But when you compare how far the Lutheran church has moved towards where they should be from where they started, it ain't far, and it's taken them a long time just to get there. And as far as waiting for "generational change" to make it easier for them, that's a pretty lame excuse. Why should a church get any respect for moral leadership if they're catching up to the rest of society on human rights issues instead of being out front?
