Suppose:
- The pope had a College of Cardinals where most of them were Lutheran.
- When the famous Gregorian Institute in Rome had a series of lectures for the public, the key speaker was Herman Otten, with additional lectures from LCMS pastors. No one objected or noticed.
- New Catholic congregations suppressed the name Catholic and even used the name Community Church. That did happen in Phoenix.
- The Pope Speaks advocated Lutheran doctrine.
- The Catholic seminaries all taught Lutheran doctrine, but denied it.
- The Vatican officials promoted Lutheran books, especially Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant, in spite of the pope's efforts to stop them.
- Anyone who questioned the promotion of Lutheran doctrine and worship was kicked out.
- The Gregorian Institute and related schools held worship conferences where the Mass was eliminated, prompting more parishes to start eliminating the Mass. When the pope tried to intervene, the parishes said the Mass hurt attendance and outreach methods.
- All new congregations were started with Lutheran doctrine and worship. Mission priests were trained at Lutheran seminaries or they were not allowed to serve.
- All world missions were run by open advocates of Lutheran doctrine and worship. World missionaries were sent to Lutheran seminaries before they could go out.
- The pope said nothing about this, but hinted that he was not happy.
Ichabodians, that is the state of the Syn Conference today, but Pope Jerry and Pope John the Malefactor are happy with anti-Lutheran doctrine being promoted.
When the bloggers are congratulating each other for being confessional, try not to laugh. They do not see it either.
