It seems that natural moral law has been esponged from Lutheran memory in that denomination, as well as common sense.<BR/><BR/>This judge and the Catholic bishops speak rightly (for the most part. I don't like the fall back on "well, they already have domestic rights anyway" argument since the very relationship is wrong, contrary to nature, it really ought not to be encouraged at all). These arguments don't work in the ELCA though, and God help them (I mean that literally) to see the truth.<BR/><BR/>Peace in the Lord!<BR/>Rob BuechlerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
