The Holy Spirit does not allow them to err.

Builders for Christ has been looking to build a church somewhere in Thailand, if it hasn't already been started. That would be like the WELS, though, building a nice new building and then leaving. The WELS is like the Boy Scouts and always leaves an area better than it found it. For example, the Prairie du Chien state detention facility has a first-class music facility thanks to the WELS.

GJ - Bruce is referring to the $500,000 music building which was added to Prairie when WELS was already going to close it.
The president of NWC was shocked when he solicited a large gift for a library building at Watertown: WELS demanded the 10% fee for Planned Giving. Yes, the Tetzels get a commission, just like the parish consultants and WELS stewardship consultants. He said, "I got the gift, why surrender the fee?" WELS demanded it anyway.

Your caption is right. The relentless use of the 8 and 18 switch is really just a back door method of claiming infallibility. The pope is saying right now, "If only the RCC had gone about it the way the WELS has, it would have saved us a lot of trouble." But just as infallibility has led the RCC to become corrupt and led it deeper into heresy, the same goes for the incorrigible WELS. Infallibility is why there's never been a serious study of UOJ and where it really came from exactly.
