Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, President of the Lutheran Church
Missouri Synod (LCMS)’s bragging rights and admission to the discriminatory, and
some, myself, might call the Hate Table of present evangelical American Christianity
merged in secret PACs of the RCs with the Mormon Pagan Cult and the fanatical
far right politicos is some strange ride for first termer President Harrison up
for re-election in 2013.
Of course the LCMS is highly thought of in the RC hierarchy
circles for its strict conservative view of Scriptures. Harrison’s tenure has seen immediate
downsizing and outsourcing of the corporate headquarters in St. Louis to
displace hundreds of employees. One
wonders how the State of India or the People’s Republic of China will serve in practical
function of the outsourcing of Sacraments to save a buck under “Tea Party Matt”.
The saving view of a dying institution like the RC church in
Europe and North America is to downsize on people and expenses in the hope that
the middle ages will return in the global world view in the future. The LCMS has taken this survivalist; take no
prisoners approach in defending the Bible as literal and jumping into bed, figuratively of course, with the USCCB United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops on all political matters with Matt Harrison at the helm of the leaky
LCMS rudderless boat.
The landmark Hosanna Tabor case handed down by a unanimous Catholic
dominated U.S. Supreme Court stands by “ministerial exception” or “ministerial”
Privilege alongside outmoded concepts like Chattel voting rights and people as
property in the original U.S. Constitution. Bravo Matt, enjoy the fruits of your labor at
the Catholic feast table against human rights in favor of religious liberty to
discriminate against all non-Catholic/Missouri Synod members and non-members within your religious bubble world. And let's not forget the religious freedom to the feeding frenzy on all your elderly members,
their assets and bequests.
The LCMS is at odds with it falling memberships against the larger
more progressive ELCA, Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, with its more
open interpretation of Scripture but sticking to basics. Even with that, female ordination or
monogamous gay ordination are within the boundaries of the ELCA message of Jesus that has its
roots going back to tolerant Quaker Philadelphia in mid-eighteenth century
America.
LCMS, enjoy the temporary merger in the 2012 election year with the Papes and the Joseph Smith-ers. And don’t yell rape in 2013 when the
crumbs the Catholics and the Mormons sweep your way today are not enough to
sustain your dying religious base into the future.
Have a nice day.
