Even in my growing-up days when I heard my grandfather say the "too Catholic" words very often, I never heard him say that about preaching. Interesting...<br /><br />I've thought a lot about your comment that we never hear people say "That's too Baptist, etc." I think that results from many years of Lutherans being poorly catechized. From my own experience, I can say that I learned very little about Martin Luther. All I was taught is that he was a Roman Catholic monk and broke away to form the Lutheran Church. With that knowledge, it's easy to infer that things Roman Catholic are to be avoided. Luther wasn't Baptist, or Methodist, of course, so why even think about whether something is too Baptist, etc. <br /><br />I know better now. Although my basic understanding of what it is to be Lutheran was sound, there was a great deal missing from my education.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458663261837865968noreply@blogger.com
