KFYI Radio in Phoenix calls her "Butch" Napolitano. One of my students, an employee for the state, said, "She is very happy, if you know what I mean. All her friends are very happy too. And I never see her with a man."
Napolitano reminds me of the Church Shrinkers. She was protected from her folly as governor by the Arizona Republic. They cheered everything she did, from the outrageous lies and snarky remarks to wasteful spending. She spent every dime during the good years and left town to let someone else deal with billions of red ink in the budget. And still they cover for her. Doesn't that sound like WELS?
Soon the Arizona Republic will be bankrupt, too.
Napolitano identified conservatives as terrorists. She also claimed that all the real terrorists came across the border from Canada. Somehow she managed to offend all the veterans too. A lawyer and former state attorney general, she even said that sneaking across the border was not a crime. "It's civil," she said.
The Love Shack got away with its follies by doing their own PR. Everyone was challenged to "sit down and talk with that person" before doubting a syllable of their Enthusiasm. Yet they could knife anyone who tried to correct them in the slightest. When they got caught skimming the Designated Funds of the synod, they had the innocent treasurer fired and blamed him. Lame excuses followed.
Fortunately, Gurgel left the country, but he is back as VP Don Patterson's vicar. Apostates stick together, work together, and take the synod down together.
No one is better qualified than Patterson to take over as the apostate Synod President. He organized a group of WELS clergy to attend Exponential, the pan-Church Growth conference in Orlando, Floria. It is the Merchanise Mart of Enthusiasm. You can hear most of the false teachers of the moment, and they have their own tours: Stetzer, Stanley, Groeschel, etc.
Gurgel working with Patterson is an eloquent testimony about their mutual hatred of Lutheran doctrine, Lutheran worship, and budgetary sanity. Who else but Patterson could own a ranch and a luxury home in the suburbs, go on African safaris, and hold out his hand--begging the synod for free vicars?
Who else but Patterson could deny his membership in Church and Chicanery while speaking for them and writing on their odious listserve?

"In accord with such assimilation, many believe that the worship of the Madonna in Catholicism had its roots in the veneration of the Goddess Diana from pre-Christian Roman cults. The celebration of Easter, with eggs and bunnies, remains a holdover of former fertility rites celebrating the Pagan Spring. Such adaptions of superficial, crowd-pleasing, rites and pastimes merely suggest how pagan activities are hidden just beneath the surface of Judeo-Christian culture."

GJ - And that was his twin brother hunting zebras in Africa - not the only trip by any means. How many WELS pastors own two properties, go hunting in Africa, and ask for synod subsidy? Only Gurgel's pal.
