"Shall we permit this to be done! in the name of Christian unity! and by a latitudinarianism that is our own heritage, which rises ever anew from the embers of the past to find such veiled support and strength in the citadel of Zion that Confessionalism is told to whisper low in Jerusalem lest she be heard on the streets of Gath."
Theodore E. Schmauk and C. Theodore Benze, The Confessional Principle and the Confessions, as Embodying the Evangelical Confession of the Christian Church, Philadelphia: 1911, p. 941.
The latest Church and Chicanery tumor has revealed the plan for the Jeske Time of Gath Network.
They will use their WELS connections to organize as many congregations and laity as possible, to leave with Jeske when he announces the consummation of his morganatic marriage with the Missouri Synod. Actually, in keeping with today's customs, the honeymoon came first.
To maximize their gain, they will play loyal servants until the heat is turned up. So far, the three State of Wisconsin Doctrinal Pussycats are in their corner. If that changes, Jeske will speak increasingly with a St. Louis accent, saying "fark" for "fork" and "carperation" for "corporation."
