A Mere Mention? - Or a Pattern of Constant Promotion?

Gregory the Theologian

A sincere question from a Papist:

How is mentioning Gregory and Basil "promoting Roman Catholicism"? I thought Lutherans accepted the first seven ecumenical councils, and had no problems with the early Church Fathers...

The best evidence of their value and power lies in the fact that for fourteen centuries they have been a mine whence the greatest theologians of Christendom have drawn treasures of wisdom to illustrate and support their own teaching on the deepest mysteries of the Catholic Faith.

GJ - The final sentence is obviously designed to conclude that this saint or these saints prove the infallible dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church. 

The purpose of both websites is to recruit more Roman Catholics. They do a splendid job with this, and Lutherans hardly lift a finger to do the same. Instead, the "conservative" Lutherans either promote Fuller Seminary, Eastern Orthodoxy, or Roman Catholicism.

When Roman Catholics do this for Luther, I may...reciprocate. But don't count on it.

McCain, Weedon, and Otten have a pattern of promoting every doctrine except Luther's. 

To celebrate the Reformation, Otten promoted The Facts about Luther, a vile and deceitful book against Luther, based on the ravings of a Reformation-era Struwwelpeter

While the (W)ELS excommunicates it's clergy and members for enduring in the one true faith by teaching and defending One Justification solely by Faith Alone - there is one faint glimmer of hope...
