Pope Paul the Unlearned is the world's largest chameleon. He assumes the doctrinal background of anyone he is with. Ancient Greeks: "A chameleon can turn any color...except white." |

Didn't LCMS Pastor Benke greet the Antichrist in the name of all LCMS clergy and laity calling him Holy Father?

LCMS' CPH chief editor and close friend of LCMS President Harrison, Rev. Paul McCain declared that he held a common confession of Christ as Father Richard John Neuhaus, as a clergy convert who vowed that the Antichrist is Christ on earth and that all who confess Justification by Faith alone are anathema.
"I will miss Father Neuhaus, and I join with many others in expressing my appreciation for his life and work, both for what he did that I fervently agreed with, which was much, and that which I had to disagree with, which was substantial. In both cases, he challenged me to think, to reflect, to grow and to strive for excellence in our common confession of Christ." - Rev. McCain

GJ - Neuhaus called himself a confessional Lutheran until he joined the Church of Rome as a priest - not exactly a shock to his readers.
The genius of Universal Objective Justification is the destruction of all creeds and confessions. A confession of faith becomes meaningless when someone thinks God "declared the entire world forgiven," as Rolf Preus recently repeated.
Neuhaus and McCain's father-in-law were Seminex leaders, as Richard Jungkuntz (UOJ, formerly WELS) was. They all have UOJ as their common "confession."
That also liberates DP Benke in his quest to be in communion with anything that moves, whether Rome or ELCA or Mecca.
The same UOJ makes it easy for Team Glende and the Patterson Safari Group to worship at every Schwaermer conference known to man.
These people specialize in repeating the claims of UOJ, but they are helpless when it comes to exegesis and Lutheran doctrine. Their UOJ obsession has them coming back to the same topic, so Universalism clearly defines their distant watercolor memories of seminary education.
