the Left Foot of Fellowship more often than his Roman counterpart,
given the size of the Little Sect.
The August newsletter of the ELS managed to cover the WELS convention without mentioning the repudiation of Church Growth doctrine.
Pope John the Malefactor would have problems with the content of the papers given, except for John Brenner's fantasies about UOJ.
The one thing the Synodical Conference keeps harping on is an opinion not found in the Book of Concord, Luther, Chemnitz, Melanchthon, Gerhard, or Calov - UOJ or double justification.
But double justification is found in Burk (Pietist) and Knapp (Pietist), transported by Walther (Pietist), and canonized by F. Pieper - who was born into a Pietistic, unionistic sect and subsequently had his membership upgraded to Missouri Synod.
A brief catechism on Universal Objective Justification:
The whole world is forgiven and everyone is saved. Every single person is a guilt-free saint. Therefore we are born without sin, like Mary Immaculata. That is Universal Objective Justification. However, all this forgiveness and salvation and grace do not mean anything until we make a decision and accept that it is true (subjective justification). If we hem and haw, we are damned forever and will probably be the only ones in Hell who are not guilt-free saints. This eternal doctrine can be traced all the way back to the first days of the Christian Church in Perry County, Missouri.
The Shrinkers love UOJ, harping on it even more than the seminary professors.

It's kind of hard to believe that anything at all will be done about CGM in the ELS. The number of pastors for CGM may be few, but they're folks who get their way. Nothing will be done about Abiding Shepherd.
