GJ - Walther took land away from Bishop Stephan, secretly, avoiding a meeting with him. Next Walther organized a mob of 300 to threaten Stephan's life and force him out of his home. The Walther mob stole all of Stephan's money, books, and possessions. They forced him to sleep on the ground outside overnight, then forced him across the Mississippi River at gunpoint.
That is how Walther became leader of the Perryville/St. Louis group. Loehe asked them to join his group of congregations. Official synodical historians ignore the crimes, excuse the behavior, and accuse everyone alienated by Walther of being false teachers. They give Walther the glory for being "The American Luther" when he was really "The Lutheran Pope," a Borgia pope at that.

Walther later wrote Pastoral Theology, and Syn Conference leaders still follow his criminal behavior.
